With alot of sexing questions in the mix .... thought a Pic comparison of Male/Female RF's might help a few folks .....
Of course these are adult animals and much defined , but alot of issues such as tail size, femoral/anal scute shape , plastron shape and the "waist shape" are prevelent in younger torts just not as easy to identify.

Here is a 13" MALE CherryHead......

Yes males do have longer tails ... as far as CDT's , you might ask one of the other forum members who specializes in them. I would assume around 5-7 yrs would be a good start.
