Anneng's identification of male-Brazilian turtles

Many people reply to ask how to identify the male and female turtles. Although I can recognize the male and female turtles in my house, I cannot tell which specific identification methods are available. I checked the relevant information on the internet today, finally, I understood some methods. (Images are from the "crawling all over the world" website)

In view of the length relationship, I only selected the most common pictures of turtles. If your turtles are not in the picture, please forgive me.

For Turtles of the same age, the shape of female is always greater than that of male. CommonBrazilian tortoiseThe males weigh 300 grams and females weigh about 500 grams. The standards for other turtles vary depending on the variety.

Generally, the following gender features can be used to identify the gender of common turtles, regardless of whether they are water turtles or land turtles:

Female turtles: The back armor is short and wide, and the center of the abdominal armor is flat. There is no sag in the center, the tail is fine and short, the tail base is fine, and the vent hole is closer to the rear margin of the abdominal armor, the two pieces of anal shield of the abdominal armor are formed from a shortest angle and a larger angle.

Male turtles: The back armor is long and narrow, and the center of the abdominal armor is slightly inner, the tail is thick and long, the tail base is thick, and the vent hole is far away from the back of the abdominal armor, the two pieces of anal shield of the abdominal armor are deeper and smaller.

For adult turtles of most species of the same year, the males are thin and small; the females are thick and large.

In addition, mature individuals can also be identified using the following methods:

Place the tortoise's belly armor up, the thumb on the left and the middle finger on the forefoot of the tortoise into the shell respectively, and the Right Hand places the turtle's tail straight, if there is a black penis sticking out in the drainage cavity of the turtle, it is male. If the drainage cavity of the turtle emits bubbles or thin mucus, It is female.
