Huang Yuan Guan Shell Turtle (Definite Introduction)
Huang Yuan is a kind of turtle that is very easy to domesticate and raise. They are not afraid of strangers and have strong vitality. Omnivorous, female turtles generally weigh about 450 grams when sexually mature. Among turtles of the same age, females are often larger than males. Individual females can weigh more than 1,000 grams, while individual males rarely weigh more than 500 grams. The growth period is from May to September, and 3 to 7 oval-shaped eggs can often be laid. To grow successfully, they need to be raised outdoors in pairs.
The male turtle has a long and slightly flat carapace, and a thicker and longer tail; the female turtle has a thicker carapace and a shorter tail.
(1) The male yellow-margined box turtle has a higher back arch, a pointed top, a slightly pointed rear edge of the plastron, a long tail, and the cloaca hole is farther from the tail base; the female turtle has a higher back arch. Small, but with a blunt top, the posterior edge of the plastron is slightly semicircular, the tail is thick and short, and the cloaca hole is closer to the base of the tail.
(2) Lift the turtle's abdomen upward, use your hands to retract the turtle's hands, feet, and top of the head into the shell, and shake the turtle's tail straight. If it is a male turtle, you can see the connector coming out of the cloaca. The hole is turned inside out and takes on the shape of a black umbrella. In females, only bubbles or thin mucus are removed from the cloaca.
