Yuanyuan believes that the concept of Mo Turtle is unnecessary. I mean, recently many strangers have asked me questions such as "What kind of turtle is a black turtle?" or "Will my mother grass become a black turtle?" Therefore, I would like to explain this question here. Let me tell you, I hope it will be helpful to fellow strangers.
First of all, the definition of ink turtle - ink turtle, refers specifically to the male tortoise that is completely black after sexual maturity (in this regard, other turtle species, no matter how black they are, are Not the "ink turtle" as we generally call it).
The second is an explanation of some other issues about the ink turtle:
1. "What are the pursuits of the ink turtle?" - solemn meaning The above-mentioned black turtle must meet the following conditions: the skin of the whole body, including the head, neck, hands and feet, eyes, and carapace, is black (in this sense, only the skin and eyes are black, but the shell color is not black) The public grass cannot be called dry ink turtle).
2. "Are there female black tortoises?" - The so-called black tortoise must be a male tortoise. No matter how black the shell of a female tortoise is, it cannot be a black tortoise because the skin and eyes of a female tortoise are It won't turn black
3. "When will your male tortoise turn into a black tortoise?" - If it's not a male tortoise, it will definitely turn into an ink tortoise. When the male tortoise grows up and matures, As we age, due to the effect of sex hormones, the skin will turn darker (except for greenhouse grass), but it is not certain whether other parts will become very dark; this has breed and genetic factors, just like men all grow beards. , but some people are light and some people are thick.
4. "How many years does it take for a male tortoise to turn black?" - Naturally grown male tortoises usually develop for more than 5 years. Only when the talent is fully mature can it be possible to become black at this time (the tortoises coming out of the greenhouse, because they have grown up under unnatural growth conditions since childhood, have serious defects in the development of their psychological functions, so there is almost no possibility of becoming black turtles)
5. "How can we tell that the male grass has started to turn black?" - The male grass begins to change color, first starting from the eyes, and then the patterns on the neck gradually fade and turn black. , and finally the carapace turns black (usually the carapace turns black first, and the belly carapace turns black later)
6. "How to choose a young male grass that has the ability to turn black?" - This is basically very simple. It is difficult to predict because there are not only genetic factors, but also regional and species factors. The shell color of male grass produced in some places will not be very dark. You must be lucky if you buy geranium in the hope that it will turn black in the future, haha. so,If you want to buy a male grass that is more likely to turn black in the future, please try to choose a male grass with eyes and neck markings that have started to turn black and a darker shell color (but it is more likely, and it cannot be guaranteed 100%).
