Are these two turtles male or female?

1.When identifying the sex of a tortoise, pinch it carefully. Flipping the turtle back and forth may hurt it. Carefully hold your turtle steady and gently turn it over.

2.Observe the turtle's tail. The turtle has a small hole in its tail called a "cloaca".

The cloaca of male turtles is located farther away from the body, about halfway or two-thirds of the way to the tail, near the tip of the tail. The cloaca of the female turtle is closer to the body, almost just below the shell. Measure the thickness and length of the tail.

The tail of the male turtle is thicker and longer than that of the female.

3.Observe the bottom of the turtle shell. If the shell on the tortoise's abdomen is convex, it is most likely a female.

If the belly is concave, it is most likely a male. The female turtle's belly shell is convex because it needs to give more space to the eggs, while the male turtle's belly shell is concave because it is easier to lie on the female turtle's back when mating.

4.Observe the turtle's front paws. Most males have long front paws.

11] Male tortoises usually use their front paws for courtship. [12] It should be noted that the length of the hind paws of the turtles is about the same. However, if a male turtle develops late or is malnourished, its front paws will not necessarily be very long.

In most breeds, females are larger. However, the difference in size is usually not large, so you should keep in mind the range of male and female turtle sizes and judge it along with other signs.

6.Observe clues unique to species. Depending on the species of turtle you have, there may be some special clues. For example:

Red-eared turtle: The male turtle has longer front paws than the female. [14]

American box turtle: 90% of the time, males have red or orange iris, while females have brown or yellow irises. At the same time, the female turtle has a larger curvature and a higher convex shell, while the male turtle has a flatter shell.

7.Just breed or keep the turtle separately, or just continue to love it as before. Once you've distinguished the sex of the turtles, it's up to you to decide whether or not to breed them.

However, breeding is not recommended unless your turtle is a rare species. Because caring for a lot of turtles is a huge challenge for most people.

Tip: Females are generally twice the size of males.

Female turtles, the bottom is flat, and the bottom is concave.

If you want to distinguish between male and female turtles, you can distinguish them from their body size, size, weight and excretory holes. First of all, the belly of the male turtle is concave, the individual is small, the shell is black, the trunk is long and thin, and the tail is long and thin, while the belly of the female turtle 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. Finally, the location of the excretory hole of the male turtle is at the tail end, and the shape of the hole is relatively long.

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.

The above is the easiest way to identify the male and female of the Brazilian turtle, and it is also suitable for the average water turtle. Raising a turtle is just a hobby and fun, and many people don't care if it's male or female, and they care a lot about breeding or sexist estimates. If you still find it difficult to identify, it is recommended to take the turtle to the pet store to let someone who knows how to help identify it, and take a few more turtles to compare, it will be easy to master.

This is a male Brazilian tortoise.

Front paws: male long, female short.

Tail: Male thick long, female short.

Cloaca: male on the outside of the anal shield, female on the inside of the anal shield, tortoise shell: male tortoiseshell short and wide, female long and narrow.

Judging by your **, you're just a male turtle.

1.The first is to look at its ventral carapace. In general, most female turtles have slightly sunken ventral carapaces, while male tortoises have very smooth and straight ventral carapaces.

2.The second way is to look at its tail. The average male turtle has a thin and long tail. Female turtles with short, thick tails. This is also a relatively intuitive method, but the accuracy of these two methods is not particularly high.

3.The third method is metal detection through a probe. The main thing is to detect the depth of its cloaca, generally the deeper ones will be male turtles, and the shallower ones will be female turtles.

Of course, these methods are all through external observation.

This turtle is female.

Male turtles usually have longer tails than females, and the roots of males are thicker than those of females. You can also look at the cloaca of the turtle, which is generally far from the posterior edge of the ventral carapace, while the cloaca of the female is very close to the posterior edge of the carapace. You can also look at the abdominal carapace of the tortoise, the male turtle has a depression in the abdominal carapace, while the female turtle does not have a depression.

The way the turtle looks at the male and female.

When the turtle distinguishes the male and female, you can look at its tail, usually the tail of the male turtle is longer than the female turtle, and the tail of the male turtle is thicker than that of the female turtle, and the tail of the male turtle can be seen like a triangle.

You can also see its cloacal pores, generally the cloaca of male turtles is far from the posterior edge of the ventral carapace, while the cloaca of female turtles is very close to the posterior edge of the ventral carapace, and it is round.

When judging the male and female turtles, you can also look at their abdominal carapaces, usually the male turtle has obvious depressions, while the female turtles have no dents, it looks very flat, and you can feel it with your hands.

How to distinguish male and female tortoises, as long as you understand the mating posture of tortoises, you can distinguish them. In order to avoid slipping off the female shell during mating, the male turtle's ventral carapace is slightly concave, just enough to get stuck on the female turtle's protruding dorsal shell; However, the female turtle does not need this structure, so the ventral carapace is flat.

Male turtle: tail slender, base coarse, cloacal hole far from the posterior end of the carapace, slightly depressed carapace Female turtle: tail short, base small, cloaca close to the posterior end of the carapace, flat carapace without depression This is female.

Contrast the male.

It is not clear, in contrast to the lower tail, the tail is thin and short is the female, and the thick is the male.

Look at the abdomen of the turtle, the flat one is the female, and the one that is concave in the middle is the male one, because when it is time to mate, the male needs to climb on the mother's back, so the recessed place of the male turtle's abdomen can buckle the dorsal armor of the female turtle and will not slide down
