Generally speaking, when the small snapping turtle is still relatively small, it is impossible to distinguish between male and female. Distinguish between male and female at least when their weight reaches more than 1 kg. Specifically, it can be distinguished from the following aspects:
1. Tail difference: The tail difference between male and female turtles is relatively large. The tail of the male turtle looks very big and thick. The female turtle's tail, on the contrary, is thin and short.
2, Cloacal hole difference: male and female turtles cloacal hole location is different. If it is a male turtle, their cloacal aperture is farther from the back of their plastron. Female turtles, on the other hand, have cloacal pores closer to the plastron.
3. Difference between plastrons: You can also directly observe their plastrons to see if there are depressions on them. If there is a depression, then it is a male turtle; If there is no depression, it is a female turtle.
4, to see whether the penis: can also be judged by their sexual organs of the male and female. If it is a male turtle, they sometimes expose their penis, while the female turtle does not, which can be judged by looking at the penis.
The male and female small snapping turtles should not be raised together. From the personality point of view, their courage is relatively large, and their personality is more lively, activity is very high, so if mixed breeding may fight with each other. If one of them is large, it may directly bite the small tortoise. In addition, from the space point of view, the scope of activities of small crocodile turtles is relatively large, if mixed, the space needed is also very large, the number of turtles is too large is not appropriate.
