    It sounds like your she is a he. Many male slider type turtles rub the face of the female with the back of the front claws. They will also vibrate them against her face. Just an idea from your description.

    That's not how you tell sex on those. That applies more to box turtles and some torts. Can you take a pic and post it? Males are smaller with long front nails and a longer tail.

    I just realized you were in Indonesia. What kind of turtle is it? I may be wrong. I was thinking you had a red eared slider or some other type of slider.
