The swamp box turtle
The swamp box turtle is just like the Chinese box turtle. It is rumored that Some box turtles can pinch snakes with their carapace joints, so some people call them snake-catching turtles. The swamp box turtle is one of the relatively ordinary species, with a non-translucent carapace and not many markings.
The swamp box turtle's carapace can grow to 16.8 centimeters. The back armor is dome-shaped, and the bottom armor is an elongated oval. The color of the carapace is generally green, brown or tan. The color of the plastron is mostly light yellow and green, but other colors may also appear. The head is mostly brown.
The egg diameter of the swamp box turtle is about 2.9~3.3CM, with some parts only 1.7~1.8cm. Young tortoises will have freckles and black spots on their carapace. As they age, the carapace and freckles will become darker. Adult males have brown freckles, while females have yellow or tan freckles.
Most box turtles have foldable plastrons. When they are fully retracted into their shells, the overall appearance is like a sealed box or box. This is where the name box turtle or box turtle comes from. The two most important genera of box turtles in the world are the North American box turtle Terrapene and the Asian box turtle Cuora. There is also a phenomenon in Taiwan, which is naturally the snake-eating turtle with a scientific name.
