There are many ways to distinguish male turtle from female turtle. The simplest way is to turn the turtle over and look at its abdominal armor. Usually, the belly armor of male turtles is sunken, while that of female turtles is relatively flat, because male turtles need to lie prone on the back of female turtles during mating. In addition, we can also judge the male and female by looking at the thickness of the tail and the situation of the drainage hole. No matter which method, we can only see the turtle, and the young turtle can't see the male and female.
2. How do male and female turtles reproduce1. Breeding season: Usually turtles mature at the age of 5 and can reproduce at the age of 7. It should be noted that this animal has a breeding period, which runs from April to August. At this time, the temperature is suitable, so it can lay eggs, while at other times, turtles often do not breed.
2. Prenatal preparation: Before turtles enter the breeding season, male and female turtles need to be raised together so that they can complete mating and fertilization. It should be noted that the female turtle must be provided with sand to lay eggs, otherwise it will lay eggs in water, which will reduce the success rate of hatching.
3. Hatching turtle eggs: Hatching turtle eggs requires preparing an incubator, which can be a wooden box with 5 cm of fine sand, then laying turtle eggs inside, laying 3 cm of sand on it, covering with a wet towel, controlling the temperature and humidity, and keeping good ventilation.
