 How can I tell what Gender it is??? HELP!!!!

I have a box turtle and I love her so much.
Her name is Lola Charms Brito
Favorite food: Melon
Favorite thing to do:sleep
gender:????


As you can tell I care for her very much
the only problem is that I dont know if shes a boy or girl.
I’ve had her for 2 years and I was told that girls have longer necks then boys.
Well I looked at the length of her neck and it looked pretty long to me so I suspected she or he was a girl. I really would like to know how to determine there gender so if you know how please respond.

The only way to tell the gender is by pictures. I need a picture of the face, the plastron, and the tail.

Gnomie is right, males have red eyes and more brillient colors, while females have grey or lighter colored eyes and shell

Eye color is no for sure. I had one with bright red eye lay eggs. Plastron and tail pics will help.
