I'm guessing a female too but I have heard things can change as they mature. Males have longer front claws, fat longer tails, a curve/notched shell (where the tail comes out)
at the bottom part of the shell (the females is straight across)
and the "cloaca" opening is located further down the tail of the male and it is closer to the body in the female.
