    The male turtle usually has a longer tail, the cloaca is far from the edge of the tail shield, and the abdominal carapace is sunken.

    1. How to distinguish male and female turtles, as long as you understand the mating posture of turtles, you can distinguish them. Did you know that when the turtle mates, it adopts the posture of male and female, in order to avoid slipping off the female shell during mating, so the abdominal carapace of the male turtle is slightly concave, just enough to jam the protruding dorsal shell of the female turtle; However, the female turtle does not need this structure, so the ventral carapace is flat.

    2. The judgment of the male and female of the turtle is to look at the length of its tail (long for male, short for female), or look at its abdominal carapace (concave for male, flat for female), or look at its cloaca (beyond the dorsal carapace for male, vice versa). However, the above judgment methods are accurate only by sub-adult or adult, and if it is a juvenile, the above criteria should not be used.

    3. The juvenile can be judged by the comparative method, that is, if the reactions of all aspects are different, the probability of being a male and female pair is relatively increased. Because males are naturally more active, both are placed on the ground at the same time, and the first to move is usually male. The anal shield can also be compared, with the ventral carapace closest to the tail.

    If the angle of the opening is small, it is usually female, and vice versa. In the past, a master taught me a method to identify people who are difficult to judge gender from their appearance, for your reference. It is to grab the tortoise's dorsal carapace from above with your hands, so that the tortoise's limbs are suspended in the air, and if its tail is hooked downward and forward (as it does during mating), it is almost certainly male, except for box tortoises.

    To put it simply, there are four main points for the male and female of the Brazilian tortoise:

    1. Front paws: male long, female short.

    2. Tail: male is thick and long, female is short.

    3. Cloacal foramen: the male is on the outside of the anal shield, and the female is on the inside of the anal shield.

    4. Tortoise shell: The male tortoise shell is short and wide, and the female is long and narrow.

    Hatchlings. In general, small juvenile turtles (weighing less than 250 grams) are sexually immature and their sex is difficult to identify. Some store managers said that the sex can be judged according to the abdominal carapace pattern when they are young Brazilian turtles, which has no scientific basis at all.

    Females of the same age are always larger than males. The common Brazilian turtle is as mature as the male weighs 300 grams, and the female weighs about 500 grams. Other turtles have different standards depending on the species.

    In general, for common turtles, whether terrauges or tortoises, juvenile turtles can usually be identified by the following sex characteristics:

    Female turtle: the dorsal carapace is short and wide, the ventral carapace is flat** without depression, the tail is thin and short, the base of the tail is thin, the cloaca is close to the posterior edge of the ventral carapace, and the notch formed by the two anal shields of the ventral carapace is shallow, and the notch angle is larger.

    Male turtle: the dorsal carapace is long and narrow, the ventral carapace ** is slightly inward, the tail is thick and long, the base of the tail is thick, the cloaca is far from the posterior edge of the carapace, the two anal shields of the ventral carapace form a deep notch, and the notch angle is small.

    Adult turtles. Adult turtles are easy to judge and can be distinguished by their appearance and physiological characteristics. The method of distinguishing male and female between young turtles is also suitable for adult turtles, and in addition, it can also be based on weight, pattern, and body color.

    Male turtles: the maximum weight will not exceed one catty, and the abdominal pattern is sparse; The whole body will turn black.

    Female turtle: the weight can reach 2 catties and 4 catties; Dense abdominal patterning; The color of the whole body is still the same as before, or brown.

    <> Maple Leaf Turtle My turtle has recently had swollen eyes, swollen like the bubble eyes of a goldfish, and there is a layer of white mist on the eyes, what is going on? How should it be**?

    Based on the symptoms of the diseased turtle you mentioned, it can be roughly determined that the turtle has a serious eye disease. There are many factors that cause eye diseases in turtles, mainly in three aspects: unbalanced nutrition, mainly lack of vitamin A; high water pollution and excessive stocking density; The water quality is too alkaline, causing discomfort in the turtle's eyes, causing the turtle to often wipe the eye with its forefoot to guide bacterial infection.

    The main prevention and control methods are:

    1.Replace the water with new water, keep the water clean and free of pollutants, control the pH value in between, and do not use saline water to raise turtles. If you find a sick turtle, you should take it out of the water and place it in a dark place; During the onset of the disease, the liver of the animal can be fed to increase nutrition and enhance disease resistance;

    2.For turtles with mild disease and eyes still open, they can be soaked in furacillin or furazolidone solution with a concentration of 30ppm, soaked for 40 minutes, and soaked for 5 days;

    3.For the turtle with serious disease and unable to open the eyes, first clean the white matter and white necrotic epidermis in the eyes, then soak the sick turtle in a solution with vitamin B and oxytetracycline, put oxytetracycline and two tablets of vitamin B in every 500 grams of water, and change the liquid every 24 hours;

    4.If the green turtle has this disease, do not use the method of full-body soaking, and apply eye drops or ointment to the eye area.
