map tortoises lies in five places. The first point is the tail. Male tortoises have thicker tails, while females have thinner tails. The second point is the position of the cloaca. The cloaca of the male turtle is a little behind, while the cloaca of the female turtle is a little ahead. The third point is the abdomen, the male turtle's abdomen will have a depression, while the female turtle's abdomen is very flat. The fourth point is the mating position. In the process of mating, most of the males are on the top, while the females are on the bottom. The fifth point is the tortoise shell. The male tortoise shell is flat and long, while the female tortoise shell is round.
of the map turtle? The age of the map turtle can also be roughly known by looking at the number of rings on the turtle's scutellum and the midline of the plastron. Generally speaking, the rings on the scutellum grow alternately in width and width, and the warm season presents wider rings, usually in summer, when food and water are relatively abundant. On the contrary, winter presents a narrower circle, mainly because of the lack of food in winter. Therefore, after counting the number of rings and dividing by 2, we can roughly know their age. The midline of the tortoise
's plastron changes as the tortoise grows up. As the tortoise grows up, the midline of its plastron becomes deeper, thinner, and more curved. Usually, the tortoises with thinner lines are more than five years old. In addition, their age can be roughly estimated by their weight and length.
