1. Look at the tail: The tail of the male red-faced egg turtle is different from that of the female. First of all, you can see if there are scales on the tip of their tail. If there are more obvious scales, then it is a male turtle; If there are no scales, then it is a female turtle. However, if the male turtle is not mature and relatively young, there are no scales on it. Moreover, male turtles can be distinguished by the size of their tails. If the male turtle, then their tail will be relatively large, the female turtle's tail is relatively small.
2. Look at the position of the cloaca: You can observe the position of the cloaca of the red-faced egg turtle. If the cloaca is closer to the plastron, then it is a female turtle; If the cloaca is far from the edge of the plastron, then it is a male turtle.
3. Look at the limbs: You can also observe the limbs of the red-faced egg turtle. If they have rough scales on their hind legs, they are male turtles; On the contrary, if there are no rough scales, then it is a female turtle. However, even male turtles, if they are not mature, may not have scales, which needs special attention when distinguishing male turtles.
When the red-faced egg turtle is relatively young, it is impossible to distinguish between male and female turtles, because the distinguishing characteristics between male and female turtles are not obvious at this time. Generally speaking, two or three days of breeding red-faced egg turtles can be more clearly distinguished between male and female. They are generally small in size. In terms of body size, when the length of its body reaches nearly 10 centimeters, it can begin to distinguish between male and female. But specifically, the maturity time of red-faced egg turtles is not necessarily, there will be individual differences.
