[Nhcoll-l] Preparing turtles

[Watkins-Colwell, Gregory]

What species do you have?  Also, aging is a difficult thing for turtles.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Preparing turtles

Hello all,

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!

Cheers,

Tonya
