1. Look at their body shape: If you want to distinguish male and female yellow-edged closed-shell turtles, you can first look at their body shape. In the same breeding environment, male turtles are thin and look like rectangles. The female turtle is wide and looks round.
2. Look at the belly armor: The belly armor of the yellow-edged closed shell turtle is also different. Generally speaking, the belly armor of the female turtle is relatively flat, while the belly armor of the male turtle is concave. Because males crawl on the back of females when they mate, the depression in the belly armor allows them to lie more firmly on the back of females.
3. Look at the drainage holes: The positions of the drainage holes of male and female yellow-edged closed-shell turtles are also different. Generally speaking, the drainage holes of male turtles are backward, that is, near the tail. The female turtle's release hole is in front, that is, near the abdominal armor.
2. Can the male and female yellow-edged turtles be raised togetherThe male and female yellow-edged closed-shell turtles can be raised together, because they are gentle in character and will not have much conflict. Secondly, they are not big in size, and the space they need will not be very large. There is no high requirement for space when they are raised together. Finally, they are raised together from an early age, which can also make them familiar in advance, and it will be smoother when breeding.
If the male turtle and the female turtle are raised together, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that their body size difference should not be too great, otherwise the big turtle is easy to bully the small turtle.
