The only thing I'm worried about with the turtles is that I heard they carry salmonella... and I've had a bacterial infection before and it was the worst thing ever so I get freaked out about that.

The easiest way to determine sex is to look at their red markings (the "ears"). Males have more prominent red markings there, while females have barely visible markings. Mine is a male named Snoopy
As for the salmonella, yes it can be an issue but if you always wash your hands thoroughly after handling the turtles, then you should never have a problem!
