It is impossible to sex baby turtles -you just have to take pot luck with hatchlings and youngsters. If you only want males you will have to get the equivalent of "turtle teenagers" a couple of years old, around 4in shell in the case of sliders in order to accurately determine sex.
While size can be an issue with some female sliders, it doesn't really matter with musks as the females are also tiny (about 12cm) though slightly larger than male musks.
