The yellow-edged turtle, a yellow-brown closed-shell turtle, attracts the attention of many turtle lovers with its unique appearance and aristocratic atmosphere. This small reptile, with its olive or reddish dorsal carapace, gives it a sense of elegance and nobility. The head is smooth as jade, with smooth lines that contrast sharply with the rough limbs. In particular, the yellow "U" shaped arc pattern behind its eyes seems to be a unique mark given by God, making each yellow-edged turtle unique.
The tiny ridge-like protrusions under the dorsal carapace are like delicate handicrafts, showing the unique form formed by the yellow-edged turtle in the process of evolution. The ventral carapace is pale yellow, pure and warm, giving a sense of tranquility and comfort.
The head of the turtle is its most ornate part. The olive area and the pale yellow area of the eye are contrasted with each other, like the collision of colors in an oil painting, forming a vivid picture. This stark contrast makes the overall appearance of the yellow-edged turtle look very gorgeous, like a nobleman wearing a gorgeous costume, exuding a noble and mysterious temperament.
The habits of the turtle are also very interesting. They usually live in moist environments such as forests, bushes, and meadows. During the day, they hide in grass or crevices in rocks, away from direct sunlight. At night, they come out to feed, mainly on small animals such as insects, snails, and small fish. This nocturnal habit allows the yellow-edged turtle to survive and reproduce in nature.
In addition, the breeding habits of the yellow-edged turtle are also quite special. Female turtles lay about 3-7 eggs twice a year. The incubation period of the eggs takes about 60-80 days. The newly hatched baby turtle is very small, only about 2 cm long. However, they grow quickly, and after a few years of growth, they can grow into a larger yellow-edged turtle.
Overall, the yellow-edged turtle is a very beautiful and mysterious reptile. They not only have a unique appearance and aristocratic temperament, but also have unique living habits and breeding habits. Because of this, the yellow-edged turtle has become a favorite of many turtle lovers and is widely kept at home or in zoos. And for those of us who watch, it is also a rare pleasure to appreciate the beauty and nobility of a yellow-edged turtle.
