1. Look at abdominal armour: If breeders want to correctly distinguish male and female snapping turtles, the obvious difference is abdominal armour. Adult male tortoises have sunken belly armour, which is convenient for them to climb on the back of female tortoises to mate. The belly armor of female turtle is flat, which is obvious and accurate.

2, look at the tail: After the crocodile turtle grows for a period of time, the tails of male and female will be different. Generally speaking, the tails of female turtles will be thinner and shorter, while those of male turtles will be longer and thicker. Although male and female can be distinguished by tail, this method is not very accurate, and breeders need to combine multiple aspects to judge.

3. Look at the drainage holes: The shapes and positions of male and female drainage holes of crocodile turtles are also different. The drainage holes of female turtles are round and located near the abdominal armour. The drain hole of male turtle is square and close to the tail.

The male and female crocodile turtles be raised together at an early age, because they are not particularly irritable at an early age, and their size is small and their space requirements are not high, so they are suitable for raising together. But when they are adults, it is not recommended to raise them together. Because crocodile turtles are fierce in character, they are prone to fighting. In addition, they are too big in adulthood, and if they are raised together, their activity space is easy to be insufficient.
