1. Look at the carapace: The carapace of male and female pearl turtles in adulthood is different. Under the same breeding environment, the carapace of female turtles looks round and wide. The carapace of male turtles looks long and narrow.

2, look at the belly armor: The breeding of pearl turtles can only be carried out when the male turtles climb on the back of the female turtles, so the belly armor of the male turtles is recessed, which makes it easier to lie prone on the back of the female turtles. But the carapace of the mother turtle is flat and has no depression.

3. Look at the tail: When pearl turtles grow up, the tails of males and females are different. The tails of males are thick and long, while those of females are thin and long.

4. Look at the release pores: The release pores of pearl turtles in adulthood are also different. The release pores of female turtles are all close to the edge of abdominal armour, and their shapes are round. The drain hole of male turtle is close to the tail, and its shape is square.

The male and female pearl turtles can be raised together. They are social animals, and when they are in the wild, they all live together. When breeding artificially, putting two animals together can better restore their wild environment. In addition, pearl turtles are gentle in character, and they will not take the initiative to attack under normal circumstances. After being attacked, they will only retract into their shells and will not resist, so they are very suitable for mixed breeding together.
