How big can flame tortoise separate male and female, male and female can raise together

Flame tortoises need to wait until adulthood to distinguish between male and female, because they are small in size and immature in childhood, so it is difficult to distinguish male and female. If breeders want to distinguish male and female flame turtles, they can first look at their excretory holes. The excretory holes of male turtles are close to their tails, while those of female turtles are close to their carapace. Secondly, the tail of male turtle is thicker and that of female turtle is thinner. Finally, there is a depression in the belly armor of the male turtle, but there is no depression in the female turtle.

1. How old can flame tortoises separate male and female

Flame tortoises need to mature before they can distinguish male and female, because they are similar in size in their infancy, and many organs are not mature, so it is difficult to distinguish them by their appearance.

To distinguish male from female, breeders can observe their excretory holes, tails and abdominal nails. Here are some differences in each part.

1. Difference of excretory holes: The excretory holes of male and female tortoises are different. The excretory holes of male tortoises are closer to the tail, while those of female tortoises are closer to the abdominal armour. In addition to their different positions, the shapes of their excretory holes are also very different. The shape of the excretory holes of male turtles is round, while that of female turtles is round.

2. Difference between tails: The tails of male and female tortoises are also different. The tails of male tortoises are thicker and those of female tortoises are thinner. This difference also needs to be distinguished in adulthood.

3. Difference of abdominal armour: Different genders of flame turtles have certain differences in abdominal armour. The belly armor of male turtle is somewhat sunken, while that of female turtle is relatively smooth.

2. Can the male and female flame turtles be raised together

The male and female flame turtles can be raised together, because their habits and environmental requirements are the same, so they are very suitable for raising together. However, flame turtles are large in size. If two or more flame turtles are raised together, a larger container should be prepared for them.
