Female=nice sized adult...i had a large florida cooter that was basically an aquatic tortoise...my RES would bask on her in the pond . I had to give her up when i couldnt keep her at the store and didnt have space for her at home.

PS sorry for the side tracking i'll stay on topic next time, i just dont run into many cooter keepers (sadly i run into more cooter eaters...damn people)
