Thanks for the support everyone!

I'll see about the pics as soon as I get the new digi cam on Mon.

Corina, if it is an adult then you can usually tell the sex by the shape of the bottom of the shell -- it is concave if it is a male and pretty much flat if it is a female. Males often have red eyes .. but that isn't always the case.
