www.enature.com is a very good site when trying to ID a turtle. Good luck and let us know what he is.

1. plastron-( bottom shell ) males:concave ( curved inward )
2. tail length-males:longer/thicker
3. front claws-males:longer
4. rear claws-males:may have the inside claw curved inward
5. carapace-( top shell ):males flatter & more oblong/females:
more domed( rounded )
6. vent-(anus) females:farther under the tail
a couple pictures with good natural lighting, showing side profile and bottom view from the rear, would help to assist your guess.
