If you want the star water turtle to recognize its owner, you must take the initiative to feed it, especially at regular intervals, so that it will not be so afraid of people. After raising it, you can tease it and lure it with food, but don't put it in the palm of your hand, the temperature change will be detrimental to its health.

After the star terrapin knows the owner, it often gets to know the owner when feeding. It is more active, and it will crawl in the direction of the owner, and it will not shrink its neck when interacting.

Spotted water turtles are low-level animals, and the way they know their owners is not as rich as that of puppies. And the star water turtle is not very human, but after a long time, the star water turtle may have a sense of familiarity with its owner.
