The sex discrimination of yellow-headed turtles is mostly based on the morphological differences of their tails and plastrons. Under normal circumstances, the female turtle's tail is relatively short, and will be relatively thin; Male tortoises have longer and thicker tails, which become more obvious as they grow up.
Another way is to look at the shape of their plastron, the female turtle's plastron is relatively flat, and its plastron rear edge and anus distance is very close; The center of the male's plastron is concave, and the distance between the rear edge of the plastron and the anus is relatively far.
Yellow head temple turtle can be put together to maintain the male and female. The yellow head temple tortoise belongs to the disposition quite docile tortoise, its courage is quite small, when puts it in a new environment, needs a process of adaptation. If the tortoises of different sexes are raised together, they can be observed in the same environment for two days, and when they have adapted to the new environment, have become familiar with and accepted the new partners, and have not attacked each other, they can be put together for conservation.
