Under normal circumstances, grass turtles will begin to ink after two to five years of breeding. Inkification refers to the gradual darkening of the body color of the grass turtle from dark brown to ink. This phenomenon is mainly affected by male hormones in grass turtles. Therefore, ink can only occur in male grass turtles, and female grass turtles will not ink. Moreover, not all male grass turtles undergo inkification. There are some male grass turtles without related genes, even if they grow up, they will not ink.

  1. The ink

of grass tortoise is a physiological phenomenon that the color of male grass tortoise changes from dark brown to ink. This phenomenon is mainly affected by male hormones in grass turtles. Male grass turtles generally enter the period of sexual maturity, the phenomenon of ink will occur. Although inkification can only occur in male grass turtles, not all male grass turtles can inkify. The time of inking of

grass turtles is uncertain, and the time of inking of different species of grass turtles in different environments is different. Generally, the natural growth of the grass turtle will occur around three years old, and the breeding of the grass turtle will not be more than five years old. If you want them to ink better, you'd better feed them some fish, shrimp, loach, earthworms and other foods every day to provide them with enough nutrition. At the same time, we should give them a good living space.

2. What are the manifestations

of the ink of grass turtles? The ink of grass turtles usually occurs after their sexual maturity. The main manifestation of inkification is that the color of the tortoise body gradually darkens, mostly from dark brown to ink. The inking begins with the eyes, then the neck, and finally the limbs. Ink can only occur on male grass turtles, and female grass turtles will not have ink. Grass tortoises will ink faster and better after hibernation. If they are raised in deep water, the color of their ink will become darker.
