I was just wondering, at what size should you be able to tell what sex a RES is? Also, at what size is a turtle considered be a "hatchling" and when does it become a juvenile/adult?

At around 4 inches long, males start to get their mole claws. I'm pretty sure it goes from "Hatchling" to "Yearling" so 1 year i guess?

yearlings are when there just about half way grown ide say, these turtles take for ever to get fully grown...like 7 years I think I read. That is when they are mature and ready to mate.
