How can you tell if it s a wild turtle and how can you tell if it s wild or captive?

There are mainly several methods such as looking, teasing, molding, pulling, pressing, etc.: Look at the shape. A good turtle should have a complete appearance, a wide skirt, a thick skirt, and no disability.

All soft-shelled turtles with limited blindness, missing tails, few legs, blocked nostrils, and special bulging backs are deformed turtles. There are holes in the head, neck, neck socket, back, abdomen, limbs and nearby, and the turtle with a missing skirt is a disabled turtle. Deformed turtles and crippled turtles cannot be farmed.

Look at the body color. A good soft-shelled turtle is bright, the back is generally gray-green, gray-yellow, yellow-brown or dark black, and the ventral surface is gray-white or yellowish-white. For **dull, abnormal body color of soft-shelled turtles can not be stocked.

Look at the flip situation. Put the turtle on its back on the ground, a good turtle can quickly stretch out its head and neck, and flip its body over with its head and neck support, and then run away. If the head and neck stretch out slowly, or even have inflammation and swelling, it means that there may be colored hooks in the middle of the esophagus, and further examination should be carried out by the "teasing and molding" method.

If the turtle cannot turn its body at all, it means that there are fish hooks and wounds in the body, and it cannot be farmed. Look at the exercise. When a good turtle crawls, it moves quickly, and can quickly shrink or turn when encountering obstacles.

If the crawling movement is slow, and even the body does not dare to touch the ground, but uses the forelimbs to support the body high, it means that there are fish hooks and wounds in the body, and it is not suitable for stocking. Look at the state of mind. Wild soft-shelled turtle nature**.

If the spirit is low and there is no injury or illness, it is mostly dehydrated turtle. If you are restless in the water, it means that there are internal injuries, and dehydrated soft-shelled turtles and soft-shelled turtles with internal injuries should not be stocked. Tease the left thumb and middle finger to jam the two hind leg sockets of the turtle, use the right finger or wooden stick to tease, while the turtle opens its mouth, observe whether there are fish hooks and fishing lines in the mouth, if there is no hook and the thread is exposed, it means that there is no hook in the esophagus.

At the same time, if the turtle can expand and contract naturally and can rotate in the direction of the teaser, and wants to bite the teaser, it means that there is no hook or wound on its neck. Touching the turtle suspected of having a hook on the neck, when teasing, after the neck is stretched out or when the body turns over and stretches out the neck, quickly touch the neck carefully with your hand to check whether there is a hard object. If conditions permit, it can be directly inspected with a small metal detector.

Pull one is to pick up the turtle with your hand and pull the limbs, and the limbs of a good turtle contract strongly. If the limbs are weak or unable to contract, it means that the constitution is poor. The second is to put the turtle on the ground, pull the back skirt with your hands, if the turtle crawls forward or struggles strongly, it indicates that the physique is better.

Press the leg muscles with your fingers, the muscles of a good turtle are strong and elastic, on the contrary, the muscles are relaxed, and the soft-shelled turtle with poor elasticity has a poor physique. At the same time, press the leg socket with your fingers, if there is water overflow, it indicates that the soft-shelled turtle has been injected with water, and the soft-shelled turtle that has been injected with water for more than 5-8 hours has significantly weakened its activity ability and can be removed.

Hope it can help you, please give a "good review".

Nowadays, there are very few wild turtles, and the easiest way to judge is to look at the growth lines of the turtle shell (the annual rings of the ring), because the hibernation lines are relatively thin between the lines can be judged to have a wild survival or pond experience.

If the lines are widened, it means that it is a greenhouse turtle, which has a short growth cycle and generally does not hibernate.

There are also many people who buy greenhouse turtles and release them into the wild, the middle of the grain is wide, and the grain on the outside of the annual ring is relatively thin.

According to my experience, most of the wild claws are very pointed, some of them have rust on their bodies, and their strength is greater than that of similar domestic turtles, and some of them are afraid of people, which makes people think that they are "shy", and this is how I judged.

Wild turtles are hard to see, and they are usually released by others and then picked up by you, and wild turtles are afraid of people, and they shrink into their shells and do not move.

Wild ones are more responsive, while domesticated or farmed ones are more sluggish.

Thank you for the good reviews.

Wild tortoises often have external injuries and are afraid of people! Most of the turtles raised have no external injuries and are not afraid of people!

Look at the belly of the general wild general rotten shell.

It depends on whether it is vigorous or not.

In order to distinguish wild turtles, the best individuals are sub-adults and adults, and it is difficult to judge and conclude in seedlings and larvae. The following is explained from the following aspects:

1. In terms of shell color, the shell color of wild turtles is generally thicker and heavier, bright, not light, not vain, and the wild shell color is thick, yang, pretty, and positive, while most of the outer ponds and artificial greenhouses are, light, yin, old, evil, that is, the shell color is very light and not bright, very vain, and very uniform! Nowadays, many artificial grasses on the market are light brown in color, which is easy to distinguish! There are also those who pursue the three yellow throats.

Friends, in fact, some of the shell color of the three yellow throats is faint yellow, or uniform yellow, and it is also very good to judge from these aspects that it is a pond or artificial throat! As for wild turtle shells.

The main reason why the color is thick is that the lack of food in the wild leads to slow growth and pigmentation! The outer pond and artificial food are plump and have less natural pigmentation, and the faster the turtle grows, the lighter the shell color!

2. Wild turtles have more rings and finer textures. In fact, the number of growth rings and the thickness of the grain are also closely related to the abundance of food. Wild turtles are fed poorly in the wild, resulting in smaller individuals and growing bones every year, resulting in a dense circle of growth rings on their very small bodies.

In the artificial greenhouse, there are very few clear annual rings, and the outer pond can be reflected, but the annual rings are very thick, and the gap between them is also very large. This is now experienced turtle friends, how to always advocate "hungry feeding" when feeding turtles, in fact, "hungry feeding" is a good way to look good turtles!

3. The gap between the abdominal shield of wild turtles is narrow and straight, while the outer pond and artificial ones have more growth belts, and the gap is wider, which can be called "a small road".

4. Compared with the vicissitudes of life, the wild turtle is imperfect and defective, and the turtle body is thinner, but it is very lively; The outer pond and the artificial turtle are in perfect condition, and there are no defects (those with artificially broken tails and missing nails are mostly caused by turtle merchants who do not cherish them, throw them around, and place them messily, that is, they are artificial), and the individuals are very plump!

5. People have character, in fact, turtles also have character. Wild turtles are less courageous because they have less contact with people and are very responsive, but a little longer contact time, they are very adaptable. Waitang and artificial courage are larger, not afraid of people, have long been used to it, and they are lazy when they see people, lacking vitality and alertness.

Now the wild turtle is basically no longer in Chinese mainland. The vast majority of the so-called wild in JS are in outer ponds - that is, they are raised in a similar way to ecological soft-shelled turtles.

Wild turtles because of their natural growth, so the appearance and color are very beautiful and natural, the carapace is thick, the color is dark, because the food is not very sufficient in the wild environment, and hibernation every year, the growth is relatively slow, so the growth line is relatively fine, relatively small in size, the same size of the turtle, the wild one is older.

The artificial heating (is the so-called hormone) turtle is just the opposite, the appearance is pale, the carapace feels lacking in texture, ** is also whitish, because the food is too sufficient, and the heating feeding, there is no obvious growth stagnation period, the growth is abnormally rapid, the growth line is very wide, the body size is relatively large, and even some individuals of about 1 pound are actually only years old.

The wild identification method of turtles is as follows:

1. Shell color: The shell color of wild turtles is heavy, bright, and not vain.

2. Wild turtles have many rings and fine textures. In fact, the number of growth rings and the thickness of the grain are also closely related to the abundance of food. Wild turtles are poor in the wild, resulting in a small individual and a growing skeleton every year, resulting in dense growth rings on the body.

3. The narrow socks between the abdomen and armor of wild turtles are straight and straight, while the gap between the outer pond and the artificial growth zone is wide.

4. Wild turtles are in vicissitudes, imperfect, defective, thin and lively; The outer pond and the artificial turtle are in perfect condition, mostly without defects, and the individual is very plump.

5. Wild turtles are timid, have little contact with people, are sensitive, have a slightly longer contact time, and have strong adaptability. Outer ponds and artificial people are bold, not afraid of people, and lack vitality and alertness.
