My family kept a small beetle a long time ago, eating vegetables and Shuanghui ham, hehe ~, eating it on the ground or in water.
Scarab ... how can I put it? They are more afraid of water than ordinary turtles, but they can't lack water. If they are raised in Tanqueray, only land made of sand and small stones can be used.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to identify the sex of young turtles (each weighing less than 250 grams) because of their immature sex. Some JS said that they can judge the sex according to the pattern of the abdominal shell when they sell the young Brazilian tortoise, which has no scientific basis at all. For turtles of the same age, females are always older than males. The average Brazilian tortoise weighs 300 grams in males and 500 grams in females. Other turtles have different standards because of different species.
Generally speaking, for common turtles, whether they are water turtles or tortoises, their gender can usually be identified by the following gender characteristics:
Female turtle: the carapace is short and wide, the carapace is flat, there is no depression in the center, the tail is thin and short, the tail base is thin, the cloaca is close to the rear edge of the carapace, and the notches formed by the two anal shields of the carapace are shallow and the notch angle is large.
Male turtle: The carapace is long and narrow, the center of carapace is slightly concave inward, the tail is thick and long, the tail base is thick, the cloaca is far away from the rear edge of carapace, and the notch formed by the anal shield of carapace is deep and the notch angle is small.
For most species of adult turtles of the same year, the male turtle is thin and small; The mother turtle is round, thick and big.
In addition, mature individuals can be identified by the following methods:
Put the turtle's navel up, press the turtle's forelimbs with the thumb and middle finger of his left hand, put his head into the shell, and straighten the turtle's tail with his right hand. If there is a black penis protruding from the cloacal orifice, it is male; If the cloaca of a turtle discharges bubbles or thin mucus, it is a female.
=======================
The reproductive organs of turtles are all wrapped in their bodies and look exactly the same, so it is difficult to tell the sex without certain skills. But as long as you know the mating posture of the tortoise, you can see it. Did you know that turtles mate in a male-on-female position? In order to avoid slipping off the shell of the female turtle during mating, the belly shell of the male turtle is slightly sunken, just enough to catch the protruding back shell of the female turtle; But the mother turtle doesn't need this structure, so her navel is flat. You will understand that as long as you turn the turtle over and touch the range of the abdominal armor with your fingers, you can quickly tell the male from the female.

The carapace of the male turtle is slightly sunken, just enough to catch the protruding carapace of the female turtle; But the mother turtle doesn't need this structure, so her navel is flat. Therefore, as long as the turtles are turned over and touched with their fingers, their sex can be judged.
