1. Cloaca distinction: When the yellow-eared turtle is still relatively young, it is not easy to distinguish between male and female turtles. As they get older, they become easier to distinguish, and the distinguishing features become more obvious. First of all, they can be distinguished by the location of their cloacal pores. The male yellow-eared turtle's cloaca is relatively close to its tail, while the female yellow-eared turtle is on the contrary, far away from its tail.
2. Tail difference: The tails of male and female turtles are also different, mainly in terms of size. The male turtle's tail is thick and big, but the female turtle's tail is relatively short and small, which is easier to observe.
3. Difference in body size: If the male and female turtles are the same age, they can be distinguished from their body size. Of the yellow-eared turtles of the same age, the larger ones are generally female, while the smaller ones are generally male. The same is true when they are adults.
The male and female yellow-eared turtles can be raised together, and generally there will be no conflict. The yellow-eared turtle is a relatively active turtle, usually they are still relatively long time, so if mixed, they need to provide adequate space, so that they can better activities. Moreover, feeding is also a problem that needs special attention, if mixed, the amount of feeding needs to be increased, otherwise the yellow-eared turtle is prone to conflict when grabbing food. In mixed culture, you can also observe them more to see if they will fight, if there is a fight, they will be separated in time.
