There are many ways to distinguish the male and female of Pan's box turtle, but they are mainly based on the shape characteristics. First of all, from the body point of view, the female tortoise is more sleek, and the carapace looks a little wider, while the male tortoise looks more slender. Secondly, the tail of male turtles is more robust than that of female turtles, and its length is shorter.
Again, due to reproductive needs, the male turtle's abdominal shell has a certain depression, while the female turtle is relatively flat. Finally, from the cloacal hole, the cloacal hole of the female turtle is close to the edge of the plastron in the tail, and the shape is round, while the male turtle is close to the top of the tail, and the shape is long.
Under normal circumstances, Pan's box turtle male and female can be raised together. First of all, the character of Pan's box turtle is relatively calm and gentle, and will not attack easily. The second is that after they reach sexual maturity, it is possible to reproduce naturally. However, it should be noted that in the process of polyculture, we should always pay attention to the breeding density and the size of the turtles. If the number of breeding is too large and the size difference is too large, fighting will occur.
