There are some tell tale signs for male turtles...longer tails, longer claws on the front legs and an upwardly curving Plastron (the part of the shell on the underside of the turtle). These are all characteristics that help the male "cling" to the female during mating.
There are a number of things you can check, but most require comparing a male to a female and then you can see which is which. The one way that doesn't require that is to look at the bony plate covering the belly, which is called the plastron. On females, the plastron curves outwards (it's convex). On males, the plastron is curved inwards (it's concave). If you turn over a turtle, be careful and do that slowly, or you can injure them.
