The yellow-headed side-necked turtle is a species that can be raised at home as a pet turtle. However, their intelligence quotient is not too high in the tortoise. Therefore, it is difficult for them to recognize their owners, and it is impossible to recognize their owners quickly.
For the first time in their breeding, yellow-headed side-necked turtles may react when their owners approach. However, this is only a conditioned reflex, indicating that they want to eat, not to recognize the performance of the owner. If other people come to feed the yellow-headed side-neck turtle, they will also have a reaction. Of course, there will also be some relatively smart yellow-headed side-neck turtles, which are relatively easy to recognize their owners. However, if they want to recognize their owners, the time will be longer, so they need to be patient.
As mentioned above, most of the yellow-headed side-necked turtles are more difficult to recognize their owners, and some of the smart ones are relatively easy to recognize their owners, but they also need to be raised for a long period of time. Generally speaking, the time for yellow-headed side-necked turtles to recognize their owners is basically more than one year, or even several years. In this process, we need patience.
In addition, there are some problems that need to be paid attention to in order to make them recognize their owners faster. For example, the feeding problem requires the owner to feed himself every time, which makes it easier for the yellow-headed side-neck turtle and the owner to get familiar with it. In addition, in the usual idle time, you can interact with yellow-headed side-neck turtles more, so it is easy to get familiar with them more quickly. Besides, they can't be frightened.
