The characteristics of the individual fruit stone mud turtles are similar when they grow up, but as long as the method is mastered, it is very easy to distinguish male and female stone mud turtles. We can correctly distinguish male and female stone mud turtles from the following aspects.

1. Male stone mud turtles are bigger than female stone mud turtles The turtle is large, with a long, thick tail, and protruding, scale-like horny patches on the thighs and lower limbs. The female pit turtle has a short tail and a small base.

2. The plastron sunken is the male pit turtle, and the flat plastron is the female pit pit turtle.

3. The length of the hinge cover in the front of the male pit turtle is greater than the rear one, while the female pit turtle is the opposite.

4. Also, it is the easiest way to distinguish males and females of the stone mud turtles when watching the mating of the stone mud turtles. When mating, the pit turtle adopts the male-up and female-down posture. In order to avoid slipping off the shell of the female pit turtle during mating, the male pit turtle's plastron is slightly sunken, just enough to catch the female pit turtle. Raised dorsal shell, but female pit turtles do not need this structure, so the plastron is flat.
