Large one is a female. Possibly a 3 toed. (not 100% sure) Pics could be better.
Small one is a Late 2003/ early 2004 Hatchling, Also a 3 toed.

(Could also be a gulf coast boxie) I have 3 toes & gulf coast boxies too. But can't be sure & won't swear to it - I like to see some more pics though. Anyone else on the board that can confirm?

what angles you need to id? i can put these up tomorow if the turtles coperate

Looked at it again. I'm leaning very strongly toward a female 3- toed. (too small for a Gulf Coast boxie) Looks like she has had a few nibbles also. As for the hatchling, Can't tell what sex it is - too young. Good luck with them.

Gulf Coast boxies. note the flaring in the rear scutes.

Mick - In regards to the flaring in the rear scutes. That's what I thought originally. But it's just that I have raised 3-toes where some of the hatchlings had the exact same flaring. The larger one also appears to be full grown & doesn't have the size of a gulf.

I'm in Texas, so most of the turtles that I have kept have been coasties or three-toes. yes hatchlings between the two look similar. but this one ( the one to the right in the photo ) has very significant flaring that I have only seen in coasties. I mean that looks like one of those old German army "fritz" helmets! the larger turtle to the right I stated in a message below, I thought was possibly a three-toe. but who knows if it is "fully grown"?
