Turtles can be used as a kind of pet. Although their IQ is not too high, they will recognize their owner after a period of breeding. The same is true of the yellow-eared turtle. After they recognize the Lord, they will distinguish the difference between the master and others, and they will be more enthusiastic about the master and more hostile to others. Moreover, they will interact with their owners, such as after putting them on the ground, they will follow their owners. When the yellow-eared turtle is first bought, they will have a period of adaptation, at this time they do not like to eat. Then they will gradually adapt and begin to eat. If you want them to recognize their owners more quickly, you must feed them yourself, and it's best to feed them every day.
However, the time they recognize their owners is not certain, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. If they are fast, they will recognize the Lord in about a week, and if they are slow, they will recognize the Lord in about a month.
The life span of the yellow-eared turtle is relatively long, and its age of sexual maturity is relatively late, and it can only have the ability to reproduce after several years of breeding. Moreover, female yellow-eared turtles mature later than male yellow-eared turtles, usually about a year later. Under normal circumstances, they will enter the stage of sexual maturity after about five years of breeding, and then after the appropriate breeding season, they can lay eggs after mating. However, five years is only a rough period of time, not very definite. There are also some yellow-eared turtles with early sexual maturity, which can be judged by observing their reproductive organs; Of course, there will also be late-maturing yellow-eared turtles, which have not entered the age of sexual maturity for a long time, so they need to wait patiently.
