Broadly speaking, all turtles with money patterns on their backs are collectively called money turtles. But at present, the expensive scarab in the domestic and foreign markets is the three-line closed-shell scarab. Because of this, some beetle breeders sell it as an ordinary beetle with a three-line closed shell, which not only makes more money for themselves, but also causes certain losses to turtle farmers. Therefore, when buying cultured turtles, we must pay attention to identification.

How to identify the three-line turtle?

At first glance, the carapace of the three-line turtle is brown, and there are three black vertical lines rising from the front end to the back end. The middle one is the most obvious and the longest, so it is called "Chuan". At the same time, the lower edge around the shell is kumquat yellow, so some people call it "red-edged turtle".

Second, look at the top of the turtle's glans, which has a yellow diamond-shaped sign and is smooth and scaleless.

Third, look at the abdominal shell of the three-line turtle, which is connected by ligaments. When the head and limbs retract into the body, the front and rear ends of the abdominal shell can contract slightly backward, so it is also called "broken turtle".

As long as turtle farmers look at the scarabs carefully, they can buy real three-line closed-shell scarabs and will not be deceived. (
