What does the tortoise think of it as a male or a female?

Turtles can distinguish males from females in the following ways:

If the breeder wants to distinguish the male from the female of the tortoise, he can judge by observing the position of the abdominal shell. Generally speaking, the tortoise shell is flat, with dense patterns and narrow carapace. The carapace of the male turtle will be concave and the pattern will be sparse.

In addition, you can also observe the turtle's tail to make a judgment. The tail of the male turtle is thick and short, and the root of the tail is far from the anus. The mother turtle's tail is thin and long, close to the anus.

If the breeder is not sure about the sex of the turtle, he can also make a judgment by observing its genitals. However, it should be noted that the turtle's genitals are relatively secret, and forced inspection may hurt the turtle, so it is not recommended.
