1. Look at abdominal armour: If yellow-headed turtles want to distinguish male and female, they can carefully observe their abdominal armour. The belly armor of the adult yellow-headed turtle and female turtle is relatively smooth, while the belly armor of the male turtle can be recessed. Because the male turtle's belly armor is recessed to better lie on the female turtle's back during mating. Therefore, after they reach adulthood, the breeder can judge by the difference of abdominal nails.
2, look at the tail: Yellow-headed turtles can also distinguish male and female by the size of their tails. In general, the tails of female turtles are short and thin, while those of male turtles are thick and long.
3. Look at the character: Although the yellow-headed turtle is timid, the male turtle is bolder and more lively than the female turtle.
2. Can the male and female yellow-headed turtles be raised togetherThe male and female yellow-headed turtles can be raised together. They belong to mild turtles, and there is generally no conflict under normal feeding. However, when they arrive in the new environment, they will have fear and uneasiness. Breeders should pay attention to keeping the surrounding environment stable and quiet, and then try to feed food after they adapt.
However, yellow-headed turtles are large in size, and most of them are more than 50 cm in length in adulthood. If male and female are raised together, there may be insufficient space.
