How to distinguish the male and female "Guigu Guilao" of yellow-edged closed-shell turtles

1, according to the size, we found 20 yellow-edged male turtles and 20 yellow-edged female turtles in Guigu old turtle farm. On the whole, the female turtle is round and the male turtle is slender with water chestnut. Of course, this is not the case. There are also a few male turtles that are round, although they are not as round as female turtles. However, because the boundary of the circle is vague and difficult to control, we can only take the figure as the reference point, and we can only say that most of the yellow edges follow this law.

2. look at the weight Like many other kinds of turtles, yellow-edged females are bigger and heavier than males. Adult female turtles can weigh up to 1 kg to 2 kg, and even turtle friends say that they have seen 3 kg of yellow-edged female turtles. The adult male turtle is only about 1 kg. If it is to distinguish between men and women with adult yellow edges, this can be referred to. For example, a 2 kg adult yellow rim can hardly be a male turtle.

3. Look at courage. According to the measurement results of Guigu Old Turtle Farm, most yellow-edged female turtles are bolder than yellow-edged male turtles. This may be because of the aquaculture in the outer pond. It can be noted that females are more courageous and active than males, similar to many domestic pets such as cats and dogs. Of course, this does not rule out exceptions and can only be used as a reference point.

4. Looking at the closed shell, it is observed that most of the yellow-edged females are fatter than the males. If the females close their shells, many will not be so perfect, and there will be some gaps, while most of the yellow-edged males will be relatively perfect, and many will be very close without any gaps.

5, look at the tail, this familiar turtle friend may know that most semi-water turtles and water turtles are like this. The turtle with a big tail is a male turtle, and the turtle with a small tail is a female turtle. The male excretory orifice is generally outside the breastplate, and the female excretory orifice is generally inside the breastplate. This is the most accurate method, but unfortunately, there is no difference between male and female tails at seedling stage, and it needs a certain size.

6, look at the abdominal armor, this is put forward separately, because the male and female on the yellow side can't see the abdominal armor. Although grass turtles, starfish turtles and many other species have this feature, the abdomen of male turtles will be sunken to facilitate reproduction. However, after comparing the yellow-edged male and female turtles in many turtle farms, it is found that the abdominal shells of the male and female turtles of this species are flat. There is no such feature as the sunken carapace of the male turtle, so we must pay attention to it.

Generally speaking, it is the most accurate to distinguish the sex of the yellow-edged turtle according to its tail, provided that the turtle reaches a certain size, develops well and is easy to distinguish. The bigger the better, the smaller the more difficult it is to distinguish.
