In general, the difference between the flower turtle and the grass turtle is not obvious, and it can be distinguished mainly from the appearance. To identify them, you can look at their necks. The necks of both turtles are black, but there are some thin strips of yellow patterns on the necks of turtles, while the patterns on the necks of turtles are punctate and irregular. The neck is the main difference between them. In addition, there are some differences in their habits. Grass turtles are more carnivorous and occasionally eat vegetarian food when they grow up. And the turtle eats meat and vegetables. Compared with the two, the growth rate of grass turtles is slower. In addition, adult male grass turtles may have ink phenomenon, blackening the whole body. But the flower turtle does not have this phenomenon.
In principle, the two kinds of turtles can be mixed together. There is little difference in size between the flower turtle and the grass turtle, so it is not easy for the big turtle to bully the small turtle. And two kinds of tortoise character are more gentle and timid, generally will not take the initiative to attack each other. In addition, the turtle food fed by the two kinds of turtles is relatively the same, so there is no need to pay too much attention to diet. Therefore, the two kinds of turtles can be kept together, but we also need to pay attention to the phenomenon of mutual gnawing between turtles due to territorial consciousness.
