Yellow margin turtle species (definite introduction)
The types of turtles can be said to be diverse. Different turtles have different characteristics. The turtles are very different from other turtle species. First of all, their biggest characteristic is that the middle part of their plastron is connected by a ligament, which is like a hinge and can move. After death, the ligament is broken and the plastron is It forms two segments, so the turtles are called "broken-plate turtles" among the people. What are the differences between turtles and other turtle species? Let’s briefly introduce them.
1. The carapace and plastron are connected by ligaments (other turtles are connected by bone sutures). No armpit shield and crotch shield.
2. The front half and the back half of the plastron are connected by ligaments (other turtles use bone sutures to connect the joints)
3. The short side of the lamina is backward, and the anus is 2 shields
4. Only produced in Asia
The above four characteristics are the prerequisites that turtles must meet, and one of them is indispensable. If all of these conditions are lacking, it will be one of the other types of turtles.
Identification of turtle species: Accurate identification of turtle species is a prerequisite for breeding and growth, and is also a prerequisite for ensuring farmers’ harvest. Due to the small number of rare turtle species such as the golden-headed turtle (definitely introduced), the three-line turtle, and the Zhou's turtle (definitely introduced), the supply exceeds demand. Some merchants took advantage of people's eagerness to harvest goods and attracted many farmers. Some rare turtle species have not been seen alive or even in photos, so they use yellow-fronted box turtles, yellow-margined box turtles and other turtle species to pass them off as inferior. It is rare to see a yellow-margined box turtle pretending to be a golden-headed turtle. Because the yellow-margined box turtle is also known as the golden-headed turtle and is generally produced in Anhui like the golden-headed box turtle, farmers are easily deceived. Secondly, the yellow-fronted box turtle (one of the subspecies) with three vertical stripes on its carapace is used as a three-line turtle. The carapace of some individuals is slightly brownish-red, similar to the three-line turtle.
