Male Or Female?

I know but had to research it.

Wrong end. (Well maybe not...) Usually the plastron (bottom shell) is concave in the male so it fits over the females shell. Not sure this is true in snappers as their plastron is (proportionately) smaller than a red ear for example.

Seconded. II had to guess, I'd say "male". Box turtles are much easier to determine.

Down in south Louisiana that is called supper. One of the happiest Cajun I ever saw was Claude the dragline operator when a snapper was discovered in the sand pit, back when we were building I-10 through New Orleans. He put everything on stop; down off the dragline, grabbed the turtle by the tail and into the back o his pickup. I am sure it was delicious, about everything they cook down there is, and it includes okra
