From what I hear of others, your turtle is growing pretty fast. That's good to hear. I don't really want to wait 10 years before it is a decent size to elicit a reaction from the students.
Ally snappers are temperature sex dependent, so I thought that the breeder may have been able to tell you what sex it should be. I would need to know, as males get so much bigger than females. Someone with advanced knowledge of ally snappers should be able to roll the tail of your snapper soon to determine sex. If you want to do the comparison of cloacal distance, I guess you'll have to wait.
Mantooth, thanks for the responses. You've been very helpful.
