Donut turtle
The donut turtle is a relatively similar species in the genus Painted Turtle A giant tortoise, the color of the carapace of the juvenile turtle is somewhat similar to that of the Brazilian tortoise, but the pattern is obviously like donuts. There will be some differences in the patterns between different subspecies, and some patterns are mixed with some others. His expression made him look even better.
The donut turtle is a large freshwater turtle (carapace length 12-16"). The carapace is quite flat, rather than high and raised. The color is brown or olive, with yellow or cream markings. These markings vary depending on the subspecies. There is a characteristic "C"-shaped pattern on the second rib shield. The pattern on the turtle's carapace will become dim and unclear (blackened). There is a ridge in the center of the carapace of juvenile turtles, which will disappear as adults.
The broad stripes on the donut turtle's chin form an inverted "Y", sometimes with black trim. The plastron is yellow, with at least one large dark pattern on its front. The color often fades after adulthood. Male turtles have a more obvious tail and a slightly concave plastron, while female turtles often grow larger than male turtles. When purchasing, try to choose some strong baby turtles. The appearance is often better than that of large turtles. Most people raise this kind of turtle for good looks, and only young turtles can meet this factor. However, small turtles are prone to illness, so care must be taken when raising them. < /p>
