The pet store said male but when i went back to ask they said they weren't sure.. so they said check a zoo vet to get a definite answer.. what y'all think?
so far about 4 or 5 people on here have said female..

my pet store took a random turtle, threw it in a box and said "Female" and passed it to me. i didn't know at the time on sexing turtles and thought it was really female. all summer, no change in behavior or anything and i get "male" from everyone here. i still say yours is female. most pet shop owners dont even know. they just sell their goods.

Female, I don't think most pet stores even understand how to tell if its male or female unless its a specialized type of shop.

Yea petstore people have no idea what they are talking half the time. I watch the one guy try to tell people you tell a male and female res apart by the bottom of the shell if it curves in or out.
Its a female

Check the claws. if they are all about the same length then it's a girl, If the fore. . . erm.. claws re longer then the rest then it's a male. But judging by the hail I'd say female... votes are in, it's a girl!
congrats!
