Chinese grass turtle and flower turtle are both common domestic turtles, and there are great differences in appearance. The following two points are the main points to distinguish them:

Patterns on the head, neck and limbs: The head and neck of Chinese grass turtle are irregular speckled patterns, and the limbs have no patterns.

The neck of the flower glans is neatly striped, and the limbs are also regularly striped.

2. Abdominal armor and marginal shield

The carapace of the Chinese grass turtle is a massive stain, and the upper and lower shields are all dark.

There are only small dark spots on the carapace of the tortoise, and there are circular patterns on the upper and lower edge shields, which will become round black patches with age, but they do not cover the whole edge shield.

Chinese grass turtle and flower turtle are both native species in China. They belong to semi-aquatic turtles, inhabiting rivers, lakes and ponds, and have similar feeding habits. They can be fed fish and shrimp, a small amount of fruits and water turtle food by artificial breeding. Grass turtles are strong and easy to raise, while flower turtles are easy to rot, so special attention should be paid to water quality.
