The sex distinction of Burmese tortoises is roughly the same as that of most tortoises. Generally, they are distinguished according to the different shapes of their carapaces, tails, and abdomens, as well as the distance between the excretory hole and the rear edge of the plastron.
Under normal circumstances, the carapace of female turtles will be wider after adulthood, while the carapace of male turtles is narrower and longer than that of female turtles; The tail of the female tortoise is thin and short, and the tail of the male tortoise is thick and long; The abdomen of female turtles is still flat after adulthood, while that of male turtles is concave after adulthood; The distance between the excretory hole and the posterior edge of the plastron of female turtles is relatively close, while the distance between the excretory hole and the posterior edge of the plastron of male turtles is relatively far.
The temperament of the Burmese tortoise is very docile. As long as conditions permit, the male tortoise and the female tortoise can be put together for conservation. They are of medium size and do not require a lot of space to keep, so they can usually be kept in a terrarium. Generally, the feeding space is 2-3 times larger than the tortoise body, which not only facilitates their free activities, but also facilitates the circulation of air. Their temperament is relatively docile, but at the beginning of mixed culture, we still need to observe whether they will appear abnormal. If there are abnormalities, it is recommended to raise them separately.
