How do you know it's a she?

Male painted turtles have extra long claws on their front feet. Apparently they are used as some sort of *ahem* turtle sex toy. Bucky's foreclaws are definitely not long enough for a mature male. It's possible that the claws don't elongate until puberty. But there are also some differences in the tail, and I think Bucky's looks more feminine. So I'm pretty sure Bucky's a she.
