1. Look at the colonization hole: It is difficult to distinguish male and female in yellow-eared turtles when they are younger, because the characteristics of male and female in their infancy are not obvious. Breeders need to wait for them to grow up and tell them by the position of the gutter hole. Normally, male tortoises are located near the tail, while female tortoises are located far away from the tail.

2. Look at the tail: Under normal breeding, the tails of male and female yellow-eared turtles are also different. Generally speaking, the tail of female turtle is thin and short, while that of male turtle is thick and long.

3. Look at the body shape: The male and female bodies of yellow-eared turtles growing together in the same environment are also different. Under normal circumstances, the female turtle will be larger and the male turtle will be smaller.

The male and female yellow-eared turtles can be raised together. They have similar personalities and habits, so they do not need to deliberately adjust their living environment when they are raised together. However, yellow-eared turtles are larger in size as adults, and they belong to a kind of turtles with high activity, so breeders need to prepare a larger container for them when breeding.

Moreover, they have a high demand for food, so they need to be given enough food when breeding, so as to avoid their fighting. In polyculture, breeders need to observe them regularly, and if they find that they fight, they need to be separated immediately.
