Red-faced mud turtles (confirmed introduction)
The back of red-faced mud turtles A turtle is similar to most mud turtles. The biggest difference lies in the color change of the red-faced head. Some people say that domestic red noodles are not as beautiful in appearance as overseas red noodles. In fact, part of the reason for this lies in the factors of breeding, and part of the reason is that the quality of red noodles imported into China is inherently poor.
The shell of the red-faced mud turtle is flat and solid gray or almost black. The breastplate is generally milky white. The center of the shell of young turtles is angular and the outer edges are serrated, but these will gradually disappear as they grow older. Their skin is similar in color to the turtle shell, and there are red patterns on their necks and lower bodies. The male turtle has yellow patterns on both sides of its head, but the female turtle does not, and the male turtle's tail is also longer and thicker.
The red pigment of the female red-faced mud turtle will continue to accumulate, and the natural melanin will also, but the red pigment will obviously be more than the black one. The red pigment of a male red-faced mud turtle will continue to accumulate before the male reaches a mature age, but after that, the red color will gradually recede, allowing the black color to merge. The reasons may be: first, the males are all older and have passed the prime of life; secondly, the turtles in overseas markets have basically passed the selection or are removed, and the good ones are often kept by themselves. Those who came over were not very good-looking.
I would like to say a practical situation here. Currently, female adults in the market are often better-looking than male adults, and according to rule, generally male adults The mud turtle will always look better than its mother.
