There is no big difference between male and female turtles. Many people struggle with male and female turtles when buying them, but in fact there is not much difference between male and female turtles. Now the soft-shelled turtles sold in the market are artificially farmed. If they are eaten, both male and female are the same. Because the growth cycle of artificially bred turtles is relatively short, and they are all fed with industrial feed, and the food obtained by males and females is the same, their nutrients are not much different. Of course, male turtles are easier to handle, so most people will choose male turtles.

1. Different carapace: The carapace of male and female turtles is different, and the carapace of male turtles is oval and looks longer. The carapace of the female soft-shelled turtle is nearly round, and the middle spine of the female soft-shelled turtle is also prominent.

2. Different belly armour: The belly armour of male and female turtles is also different, and the belly armour of male turtles is concave, and the concave is deeper. Although the belly armor of the female soft-shelled turtle also has a depression, the depression is not deep.

3. Different skirts: The skirts of male and female turtles are also different. The skirts at the back of male turtles will be narrower and those of female turtles will be wider.

4. Different tails: Male and female soft-shelled turtles have different tails. Female soft-shelled turtles have thicker but shorter tails, and their tails generally do not exceed the skirt at the back. The tail of a male turtle is slender, and its length will be outside the skirt.
