How can you tell if a pet turtle is male or female?

Introduce how to distinguish male and female turtles from beginner turtles.

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.

How to distinguish between male and female turtles.

1. The belly of the female is flat, and the belly of the male is concave.

2. The male body of the turtle has a strong odor, and the female turtle has a lighter odor.

3. The male cloacal hole of the hawksbill turtle is far away from the ventral carapace, the cloacal hole of the female turtle is close to the ventral carapace, the male ventral carapace is slightly concave, the female abdominal carapace is straight, and the male and female turtles have no body odor.

4. The male turtle is small, with a black shell, a long and thin torso, a long tail and a thin stalk, and a special odor. The female turtle is large, the shell is brownish-yellow, the longitudinal ridge is prominent, the trunk is short and thick, the tail is short and thick, and the stalk is thick, and there is no special odor.

It can be judged in the following way:

1. First of all, you can judge by observing the appearance: male turtle: the belly is concave, the individual is small, the shell is black, the trunk is long and thin, and the tail is long and thin; Female: The belly is flat, the individual is large, the shell is brownish-yellow, the longitudinal ridge is prominent, the trunk is short and thick, and the tail is short and thick.

2. Secondly, we can judge by smell: the male body of the turtle has a strong odor, and the female turtle has a lighter odor; 3. Furthermore, we can also judge according to the position and shape of the excretory hole: the position of the male turtle is close to the tail end, and the hole shape is long.

The position of the female turtle is close to the ventral carapace, and the hole is rounded.

To identify the male and female of the turtle tail, the length of the tail (long for male, short for female) depends on the position of the cloaca of the turtle.

Newborn baby turtles are not easy to distinguish with the naked eye, and this method is second only to turtles over 5-6 cm.

How do turtles tell male from female?

1. How to distinguish the male and female of the turtle:

Male turtle: tail slender, base thick, cloaca far from the posterior end of the carapace, slightly concave carapace;

Female turtle: short tail, small base, cloacal foramen close to the posterior end of the abdominal carapace, flat and non-depressed abdominal carapace.

2. Signs before mating of turtles:

Before mating, the male turtle will be unusually excited, often chasing the female, stopping her from crawling, and sometimes kissing. The male turtle then crawls onto the back of the female turtle to mate. When the female turtle is about to lay her eggs, she will appear restless and crawl around the pond in search of a place to lay her eggs.

Facts: Feed Types:

The feed of turtles is more extensive, strictly speaking, there are more turtle feeds, and the diet is wider than that of turtles, mainly including: animal feed, plant feed and mixed feed.

First, animal feed: animal feed has a high protein and fat content, which has the effect of promoting the growth rate of turtles and increasing the amount of eggs spawned, such as earthworms, silkworm pupa, snails, mealworms, small fish and shrimp, snails and mussels, as well as animal scraps, pig blood, internal organs, moths, insects, etc. (can be trapped by black light at night).

The second is plant feed: plant feed varieties are very wide, and local resources can be used to raise turtles according to local conditions, such as soybean cake, peanut cake, corn, sorghum, wheat, and even rice and millet can also be fed to turtles. There are also fruit and vegetable plants that can also be appropriately fed to turtles, such as pumpkin, winter melon, watermelon skin, apple peel, duckweed, tender grass and potatoes.

The third is mixed feed: these feeds are nutritious and diverse, and are divided into juvenile, young and adult turtle feed according to the growth stage. Feeding turtles with these feeds has a very significant effect, and its growth rate, spawning rate, egg production, hatching rate, and survival rate have also been improved.

It is difficult to distinguish between small turtles, and adult turtles have thick tails and recessed bellies, while females have relatively thin tails and flat bellies.

Summary. Hello dear, how to identify whether a turtle is male or female: 1

Male and female turtles are judged by looking at the shape of the turtle, the belly of the male turtle is concave, the individual is small, the trunk is long and thin, and the tail is long and thin; The belly of the female turtle is flat, the individual is large, the trunk is short and thick, and the tail is short and thick. 2.Judging by the abdominal armor of the turtle, it is the male turtle whose abdominal armor is concave inward, and the female turtle is mediocre.

2.Male and female can be judged by looking at the pattern of the abdominal carapace of the turtle, the pattern of the abdomen of the male turtle is sparse, while the pattern of the abdomen of the female turtle is dense. Hope it helps you <>
