It is difficult to distinguish male and female golden turtles in their infancy, because their characteristics are not mature, and breeders can judge by observing their carapace, belly armour, tail and body shape when they are adults.

1. Look at the carapace: The shapes of the carapace of the male and female turtles are different. The carapace of the male turtle is shorter but wider, while the carapace of the female turtle is longer but narrower. The breeder can judge by comparing the carapace.

2. Look at the belly armour: Breeders can also look at their belly armour. The belly armour of male turtles is sunken, because it is more convenient for them to climb on the back of female turtles when breeding. The belly armor of the female turtle is relatively flat and has no depression.

3. Look at the tail: The male and female tails of adult golden turtles are also very different. Generally speaking, the tail of a mother turtle is thin and short. The tail of male turtles is thick and long.

4. Look at the body shape: The male and female bodies of golden turtles living in the same environment are also different. Generally speaking, female turtles are larger and weigh up to 1.5 kg. Male turtles will be smaller, most of them are about 1 kg.

The golden turtle has a gentle character and will not fight in general, so the male and female can be raised together. However, the golden turtle is large in size and eats a lot. If the breeder wants to raise the male and female together, he must prepare a large container for them and prepare enough food.
