[Don sounds extremely cheerful, almost perky. As he goes on, that perkiness slowly becomes drier.]

[Some of the more observant may notice a slight change to his vocals. Aside from the fact that their fairly dripping in sarcasm]

To begin, I'm going to explain the most obvious differences between female and male red-eared slider turtles. One of which

[thepartydude]

What.

[Voice forevs] HE TRIED TO TALK MORE BUT I HAD TO CUT HIM OFF

[tic_tech_turtle]

Female red-eared slider turtles versus male red-eared slider turtles, Mikey.

[Voice]

[thepartydude]

Dude, what the hell?

[Voice]

[tic_tech_turtle]

[...you know what, he's just miffed enough by this whole thing to use it as ammunition]

Mike, have you noticed any changes over the course of the day?

[ Riddler's honestly interested because it's ~science~ but by now she can't help the sarcastic tone of her voice. ]

That was quite informative.

[Audio forever]

[Don's...pretty much the same way]

Mm. It's always good to hear that the information I attempt to pass along is grasped.

[techno_rockstar]

I admit that biology is not my area of expertise. It's still interesting, though.

[tic_tech_turtle]

It's not entirely mine either, admittedly, but knowing about my own anatomy seemed important.

[immaprettygirl]

Dear Mar.

XD

[tic_tech_turtle]

If I'm guessing correctly by the tome, I could probably agree with your sentiment.

what i mean to say~

[immaprettygirl]

Dude, that's fucked up. An' what's a cloaca look like?

[What the fuck, Jinx.]

[tic_tech_turtle]

...Excuse me?

[OH GOD WHAT D8]

[voice]

[hadalotofsugar]

....

So are you a girl turtle now?

[He knows you're not Mikey but he has to ask.]

[voice]

[tic_tech_turtle]

Considering the other..."reports" today, it's probably safe to assume so. Yes.

[voice]

[hadalotofsugar]

Well, if you can't really tell... I guess you're one of the lucky ones.

[King's just like... what do I say to the turtle that might b e a girl.]

[voice] apparently LJ ate my last response

[tic_tech_turtle]

Well, it's not that I can't really tell. I'm certain I'm female now. But it's subtle, just slight changes in my center of balance, my skeletal structure, my shell, et cetera. Noticeable, but not obvious. But I am lucky I suppose, since species with more obviously differed genders must be having a much harder time.

[AND DON'S LIKE "HURPDEDURP IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE AWKWARD?"]

[messyturk]

The more you know.

Does it work on things that aren't turtles but sorta like turtles? We have things back home that're like turtles.

Except they eat people.

[tic_tech_turtle]

I...wouldn't know? Possibly, depending on their environmental and physical similarities, though I can't give a conclusive answer without knowing the species you're talking about.

Turtles where I'm from don't eat people, however.

[messyturk]

They're called Adamantaimai. They're like giant turtles, but with horns and sharp teeth.

I can sorta draw one for you?

[tic_tech_turtle]

Um, sure.

If they're solely carnivorous however, then there's already a big difference. The turtles I'm describing are omnivores.

Why are you interested in distinguishing gender?
