No, there are three ways to differentiate male from female but you cannot do this with baby ones, only when they are mature, also it helps if you have a male and female to compare. Firstly the tail of the male is a lot longer than the female. Secondly the cloaca opening on the female near enough touches its shell whereas on the male it is farther out. And thirdly the claws of the male are a lot longer than the female.
