Three-sided turtle The morphological characteristics of the three-sided turtle
The three-sided turtle

The shape of the carapace of the three-sided turtle is very similar to that of a tortoise. The pattern is not obvious, but there are three very obvious spinous processes. The color of the carapace is darker, but the color of the spinous processes is like a gold edge, which is yellow or orange, which looks very beautiful and very unique.

There are three light-colored ridges on the back of the three-sided turtle, which are very obvious from juvenile to adult turtles and will not disappear. The head and red-bellied side-necked turtles generally have V-shaped markings that extend from the tip of the nose to the neck. The markings are often yellow to orange and will not disappear when the turtle becomes an adult. Due to the depleted population, the original species of turtle has no record of successful growth so far, but their growth habits should be similar to the black mountain turtle.

On the basis of three-sided turtles, female turtles can produce 2 to 3 litters per year, with 2 to 4 eggs in each litter, which can hatch in about 60 to 70 days. It is not difficult to distinguish between males and females. The male turtle has a thicker tail, the anus is longer than the carapace end, and the head patterns are more distinctive. Female turtles have shorter tails and darker head markings. The remaining V-shaped notches at the end of the plastron have smaller angles in male turtles and larger angles in female turtles. The ultimate goal of raising this rare turtle should be to make up for the damage in nature.
