Many people must be confused. Are turtles that they have raised for more than ten or even decades male or female? How to distinguish between male and female turtles? Let's answer this question.
The position and shape of the excretory hole can distinguish male and female: the position of the male turtle is close to the tail, and the hole shape is long. The position of the female turtle is close to the abdominal nail, and the hole is round.
The size of the tail, the male turtle tail is thicker, and the female turtle is thinner and shorter.
Whether the belly shell is concave, the male turtle has obvious depression, and the female turtle is flat.
Because the reproductive organs of turtles are wrapped in their bodies and they look the same, it is difficult to distinguish their gender without certain skills. But as long as you know the mating posture of turtles, you can tell. When mating, the tortoise adopts the posture of male up and female down. In order to avoid sliding from the female shell during mating, the male turtle's abdominal shell is slightly concave, which can just catch the female turtle's protruding dorsal shell; However, female turtles do not need this structure, so the belly armor is flat. As long as you turn the turtle over and touch the amplitude of the abdominal armor with your fingers, you can quickly distinguish between male and female.
