How does crocodile turtle divide male and female, can raise together 1. How do crocodile turtles distinguish male and female

1. Look at abdominal armour: If crocodile turtles want to distinguish male and female, they need to observe their abdominal armour after their body shape matures. Under normal circumstances, the belly armor of female turtles is relatively flat and smooth. The belly armor of male turtles is obviously sunken, which is convenient for them to lie on the back of female turtles more stably when breeding.

2, Look at the tail: The tails of crocodile turtles are also very different from those of male and female crocodile turtles that grow in the same environment. The tail of male turtles is relatively long and thick, while that of female turtles is thin and short.

3. Look at the drainage holes: The drainage holes of crocodile turtles are different between male and female, first of all, the shape. The drainage holes of female turtles are round, while those of male turtles are square. The second is the position. The position of the female turtle's release hole is close to the abdominal armor, and the position of the male turtle's release hole is close to the tail.

2. Can crocodile turtles be raised together

It is not recommended to raise crocodile turtles together, because they are relatively large in size and need larger containers to raise them in adulthood. If there is insufficient space, it will not only affect their growth and development, but also make them prone to fighting. In addition, they are irritable, and if they are raised together, they may fight. In addition, it is not recommended to reproduce immediately when crocodile turtles are just mature. If male and female crocodile turtles are raised together, they will begin to reproduce when they are mature, and premature reproduction may affect the quality of their offspring.
