Razor tortoises can distinguish between male and female two or three years after birth. When they are relatively young, their sex is not particularly obvious, and after a period of feeding, their external characteristics will show up. At this time, it can be found that the female turtle's carapace is short and wide, while the male turtle's carapace is slender. The female turtle's abdominal armor is smooth, while the male turtle's abdominal armor is sunken. Female tortoises have short tails, while male tortoises have thick tails. The excretion hole of female turtle is close to abdominal armor, while that of male turtle is far away from abdominal armor.
1. When razor turtles are born, their male and female characteristics are not obvious, so it is impossible to judge their sex at this time. And in a short period of time, their sex will not become obvious. Generally, after two or three years of feeding, their special features will become obvious. At this time, they can judge their sex from the external characteristics such as carapace, belly armor and tail. 2. How to divide razor turtles into male and female
1. Look at the carapace: From the carapace, the carapace of male turtles is longer but narrower. Female tortoise carapace is shorter, but wider.
2. Look at the belly armor: From the belly armor, there is a depression in the middle of the belly of the male turtle. There is no such place on the belly armor of female turtles.
3. Look at the tail: From the tail, the female turtle's tail is relatively small and short, especially at the end of the tail. The tail of the male turtle is relatively thick.
4. Look at the excretion hole: From the position of the excretion hole, the excretion hole of female turtle is relatively close to the abdominal beetle, while the excretion hole of male turtle is relatively far away from the abdominal beetle.
5. Look at the mating position: From the mating position, during mating, the male turtle will climb on the back of the female turtle to mate. If you are in the breeding period, you can observe the position of male and female. This is the simplest way to judge.
