Selection of soft-shelled turtle

At first glance, you should mainly look at the various parts of the soft-shelled turtle. Those with a complete appearance, no injuries or diseases, thick muscles, shiny abdominal armor, fuzzy dorsal ribs, thick and upturned skirts, thick and strong legs, and agile movements are considered superior soft-shell turtles; otherwise, they are considered inferior soft-shell turtles.

Grab the soft-shelled turtle's back leg nest with your hand. If it moves quickly, kicks its legs wildly, and is fierce and powerful, it is a superior turtle; if it moves inflexibly, its four legs move slightly or even doesn't move. It is an inferior turtle.

The three inspections mainly check whether there are hooks and needles in the neck of the turtle. Turtles with hooks and needles cannot be kept for long periods of time or transported over long distances. Inspection method: Use a hard bamboo chopstick to stimulate the turtle's head and let it bite it, then pull the chopstick with one hand to lengthen its neck, and touch the neck carefully with the other hand.
