The carapace of tortoise in northern Australia is olive to dark brown, with no pattern and smooth edges. There is no particularly enlarged edge shield. The carapace is yellow to brown with two hinged joints, 1 1 shield. Male turtles have well-developed spikes at the end of their tails and rough scales on the inside of their hind legs.
The male turtle is obviously smaller than the female turtle. Like most water turtles, males are characterized by blackening. The tail of the male turtle is very thick, and most adults are 9~ 10CM. The females are large and wide, and the adults are mostly 1 1~ 13CM. The male turtle has a hard keratinized skin at the bend of his hind leg, which is used to catch the female turtle during mating. Because the tail difference between male and female is obvious, we don't need to look at anything else, just look at the tail difference.
Hatching is no different from general turtle hatching. Generally, it is artificially hatched at a constant temperature of 30 degrees, and the humidity in the early stage is controlled above 95%. 1 month and a half After a lot of bloodshot eyes appear, the humidity can be slightly lower and the eggs are slightly exposed. After two and a half months, the humidity was about 80%, and then more eggs were exposed, one and a half in vermiculite. Generally speaking, it takes about 85 days to 95 days.
