Red-crested turtle (confirmed introduction)
Red-crested turtle The biggest distinguishing feature of the red-crested turtle is the distinctive stripes on its head, just like male animals attract females with their beautiful appearance. The colorful stripes of the red-crested turtle only appear on the male turtle, which also gives the red-crested turtle a unique advantage. It is convenient for turtles to distinguish between male and female.
The carapace of juvenile red-crested turtles is brown-gray to olive, and the ventral carapace is light yellow to gray-yellow, without any markings. Initially, there are seven vertical stripes consisting of dark and light brown and gray, which extend to the skin of the neck. When the male turtle reaches adulthood, these vertical stripes will form a strong contrast between white and red. The head part is also bright red, with two yellow stripes appearing behind the eyes, and the other parts are blue-green. Coupled with the golden eyes, the male red-crested sawback turtle is one of the most popular turtles in the world. Among the many turtles, it has the most dazzling and unique head color. The eyes of females are brown and do not have bright color spots.
