A money turtle must have the following four characteristics at the same time to be an authentic money turtle: 1. The carapace (shell) is brownish-red, with 3 black stripes (none or not obvious in young turtles), with a smaller one in the center. Long, with shorter sides, like the character Sichuan. 2. There is a red edge between the carapace and plastron (between the turtle shell and the turtle plate) (the flesh is reddish). Therefore, it is also called the red-sided turtle. 3. The plastron (turtle plate) is black with a small amount of yellow on the edge. 4. The carapace and plastron (between the turtle shell and the turtle plate), and the pectoral shield and ventral shield are all connected by ligaments, and the turtle shell can be completely closed. Therefore, it is also called a turtle. Money turtles differ in head color and plastron (turtle plate) due to different origins: 1. The Vietnamese species has a gray head, while the local species has a golden head. 2. Part of the plastron (turtle plate) of the Vietnamese species is black with a small amount of yellow on the edge. Some have a rice-shaped shape on the plastron (turtle plate) near the head. The plastron (turtle plate) of local species is black with a small amount of yellow on the edge.
