1. Body type difference: First of all, to distinguish the male and female musk turtles can be distinguished from the body type. When musk turtles are relatively small, they are almost impossible to distinguish. When you grow up, you can distinguish it from this aspect. For the same age of musk turtles, the size of female turtles is relatively large, and the size of male turtles is smaller. If the musk turtles are adults, it is easier to distinguish them from their size.
2. Tail distinction: The male and female musk turtles can also be distinguished by the size of their tails. Generally speaking, the male turtle's tail is thick and big, is also quite long; The tail of the female turtle looks shorter.
3. Difference in plastron: The plastron of male and female turtles is also different. Look at their plastron, if the male tortoise, there will be a more obvious part of the depression, if the female tortoise, there is no depression.
4, genital pore shape difference: can also be distinguished from their genital pore shape. The gonopores of male turtles appear to be square in shape, while those of female turtles are round. Sometimes the location of the genital hole is also different, the female turtle's genital hole is closer to the plastron.
When the musk turtle is still relatively young, the distinguishing features between the male and female turtles are not very obvious and it is not easy to distinguish. Especially when they are born, it is not easy to distinguish between male and female. Generally speaking, it takes at least 2-3 years to see the male and female. If you want to clearly distinguish between male and female, it is better to enter the stage of sexual maturity or adulthood, so that their gender characteristics will be more obvious.
