Default got one of my babies back

Splosh spent the summer in my parents pond (along with Spook) but I decided it was time for the pair of them to come home, unfortunately I havent been able to catch Spook yet but I got Splosh back today! I couldn't believe how big he looks now between 5 and 6" (think I'd got used to seeing the baby who's now sulking in his small 25G!), and his feet are huge , he has a strange patch on his tail that I'm a bit concerned about so I'll have to keep an eye on that. here's a couple of pics I took today

are you sure he looks quite male to me with a concave plastron and long tail? I wasn't sure how old they had to be before you can sex them accurately though the turtle is 2 now
