Hello everyone. I have a ppt and im not sure wether its a male or a female. My friend said its a male because if the shape of the plastron at the posterior part. Im not convinced because i was expecting that males have concave plastrons. Mine is flat. I saw a picture in this site posted by a user "sincebirth" showing the penis of his ppt and i noticed that the plastron is flat. Are there terrapins that are male but doesnt possess a concave plastron?

Welcome to the forum. I don't think the plastron is a good indicator for aquatic turtles. How big is he/she?
