Pearl turtles distinguish between males and females mainly through their appearance. In terms of size, the carapace of male turtles is long and narrow, while the carapace of female turtles is relatively round and wide. From the point of view of the abdominal part, due to the need of physiological activities, the abdomen of male turtles is generally depressed, while the abdomen of female turtles looks very flat. From the tail point of view, the male turtle's tail is relatively short and strong at the root, while the female turtle's tail looks relatively slender. Finally, the cloaca of the two turtles is also different, the cloaca of the male turtle is far from the edge of the back of the abdomen, the shape is rectangular, while the female turtle is close to the edge of the plastron, the shape is similar to a circle.
The male and female pearl turtles can live together. Pearl turtles are generally mild in character and generally do not take the initiative to attack. And if conditions are ripe, natural reproduction may occur. Only in the process of mixed culture, pay attention to the density of farming, if the density is relatively large, try to isolate, because it will inevitably produce territorial awareness, some of the larger head is easy to bully the smaller head. Therefore, male and female can live together, but we need to pay attention to the density problem.
