How does a tortoise divide a male from a female?

How do turtles divide male and female?

1. How to divide a tortoise into a male and a female can be distinguished as long as you know the posture of the turtle's mating. Did you know that the tortoise uses the male upper and lower female position when mating, in order to avoid slipping from the female shell during mating, so the male tortoise's abdominal armour is slightly sunken, just enough to hold the protruding back shell of the female turtle; but the female turtle does not need this structure, so the belly is flat.

2. the judgment of male and female of tortoise is based on the length of its tail (male in length and female in short), or its ventral nail (concave is male and flat is female), or its cloacal foramen (male beyond its dorsal armour, and vice versa). However, the above judgment methods are only accurate in sub-adults or adults, and the above criteria should not be used in the case of larvae.

3. The comparison method can be used to distinguish the larvae, that is, if the responses of all aspects are different, the probability of male and female pairs will be relatively increased. Because the male is naturally active, the two are placed on the ground at the same time, and the first mover is usually male. It can also be compared with the anal shield and the abdominal nail closest to the tail. If the angle of opening is small, it is usually female, and vice versa. In the past, a master taught me a way to identify those who are difficult to judge gender from their appearance for your reference. It is to grab the tortoise's back armor from the top and let the tortoise hang in the air. If its tail is hooked down and forward (as it looks when mating), it is almost certain to be male, but the box turtle is not applicable.

How to tell the sex of a tortoise?

The male tortoise usually has a long tail, the cloaca is far from the edge of the tail shield, and the ventral armour is sunken.

How can a Brazilian tortoise tell a male from a female?

The distinction between males and females of Brazilian turtles is roughly the same as that of tortoises. As far as I know, there is a big difference between male and female sizes in Brazil, and the fingernails of male turtles are longer than those of female turtles.

How to distinguish between male and female radiation turtles?

It is usually easier to distinguish more than 10 centimeters, and radiation turtles are not as easy to judge as star turtles or Burmese stars, but there are still several ways:

The main results are as follows: 1. the opening angle of the ventral nail against the tail is usually the female tortoise, because the female turtle's tail is small.

2. Male turtles have longer and larger tails. When holding them flat, male turtles sometimes roll up their tails from the bottom to the front (a bit like mating).

3. The ventral nail of the male turtle is sunken (which is more difficult to judge), while the female tortoise is flat.

4. In terms of character, male turtles are more lively and active than female turtles (not entirely correct, there are evil girls and sissy boys).

5. Generally speaking, the male turtles of star turtles and Burmese are longer, the tail shield of the back armor will be wrapped down, and the female turtles are more round (not necessarily radiation).

How can the baby of Indian star tell the difference between male and female?

The male and female of Indian star have the following ways of judgment:

1. The male star is longer and narrower, while the female tortoise is more round.

2. The ventral nail of the male star is sunken, while the female tortoise is flat.

3. The tail of the male tortoise is longer and the female tortoise is shorter.

4. if the tail is straightened and the position of the cloaca exceeds the edge of the dorsal nail, the male is the majority.

5. The male star tail shield will be wrapped down and rolled up slightly forward, but the female turtle will not.

6. Grab it from above. From a side point of view, the tail of the male turtle will face down vertically and roll up slightly forward (in a mating position).

7. The above judgment methods can be easily identified by the size of more than 10 centimeters. The words of young turtles, frankly speaking, are hard to identify.
