CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How big do Chinese golden coin turtles have to be before you can tell the difference between male and female?

3 to 4 months.

Problems:

In recent years, the breeding industry of turtles and tortoises such as the golden coin turtle, the stone golden coin turtle, the spotted pond turtle, the Annam turtle, the black-necked turtle, the mountain turtle, and the pearl turtle has gradually developed. The number of people who are looking for excellent turtle breeds to get rich and increase their investment value has gradually increased. Wild turtles and tortoises have long lifespans and long seedling production periods, making them the first choice for breeding.

However, with human hunting and environmental changes and deterioration, wild turtles are becoming increasingly rare and on the verge of extinction. The decreasing number of wild turtles is far from meeting the growing breeding needs of farmers, so two breeding methods have emerged: one is to use commercial turtles as seeds, and the other is to use simulated wild turtles as seeds.

Which of these two ways is the best? What are the specific advantages? These are the questions that farmers want to know the most, and they are also the questions that farmers from all over the country ask authoritative organizations the most.

The female turtle has a straight plastron, a short and thick tail, and a short and thick body. The male turtle has a slightly concave plastron, a slender tail, and a long and thin body. The turtle's anus is covered in the upper half of the shell, which is a female, and outside is a male.
