<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I am getting ready to prepare some salvaged turtles we have in our freezers. I’d like to age and sex them before preparing them, but (it’s clear here I’m not a herp person) I’m not sure how to do so without dissecting
them – which for turtles in particular is not ideal. Any suggestions or references would be appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
