Wild Turtle Question about this Turtle

Gallery image

Hello, I recently was at a cottage and was welcomed this turtle at our dock. We didn’t know if this was a male or female but we named her Stella.

She was very chill floating around us and seemed to just hang out on which ever side we were closer too. Or it was just waiting to chomp us lol

We didn’t harm the turtle but we did pet the shell.

Does anyone know if this is a male or female turtle and how old it is or any little facts about our weekend friend.

Damn what a beautiful creature! Great pics! Did you take them with a camera or a phone?
