Generally speaking, too small stone money turtles can not distinguish between male and female. When they grow up, that is, after the juvenile stage, they can be distinguished from male and female turtles in the following aspects:
1. Look at the shape of the carapace: The carapace shape of male and female turtles is different. You can observe it. If the carapace looks longer, but narrower is the male turtle; Female tortoises have the opposite carapace shape, which looks shorter but wider.
2. Look at the size: If the age of the stone money turtle is about the same, and it is already an adult, you can judge by their size. Generally speaking, the size of the female turtle will be slightly larger.
3. Look at the tail: The tail of the male turtle is quite different from that of the female turtle. You can observe their tails. If the base of the tail is thicker and the tail is longer as a whole, it is a male turtle; The tail of the female turtle is thin at the base and short as a whole.
4. Look at the plastron: The plastron of male and female turtles is also different. There is a hollow on the abdomen of the male turtle, but not the female turtle. In addition, the anal shield on the abdominal shell of the male turtle will be relatively deep and easier to observe.
Stone money turtle male and female turtles can be raised together, if carefully maintained, it will not be harmful. There are two issues to note. The first is the problem of space, if you mix male and female, you need to prepare a larger container, and the space should be large enough. In addition, in order to avoid fighting for food, they need to prepare enough food for them, and if necessary, they need to be allocated reasonably.
