European shore turtles

European shore turtles have some differences based on subspecies. However, most of the carapace is dark with goose-yellow radial patterns that cover the entire carapace, so some people also call it the European meteor tortoise, which is easier to identify.

1. Appearance characteristics of the European Sea Turtle

The European Sea Turtle is A small to medium-sized water turtle that often lives for more than 100 years. There are 13 known subspecies of European sand turtles, distinguished by body shape, color, markings and geographical distribution. Often, those living in the north are obviously larger and darker than those in the south. Depending on weather conditions, European frogs hibernate and aestivate. Adults are usually 13-20 cm, and a few can reach 23 cm, depending on the lack of co-seeding.

Males are smaller, their cloaca is farther from the edge of the tortoise shell, their tail base is thick, their plastron is concave, their claws are long and curved, and they have red, brown, yellow or white irises. The skin is darker. The markings on the back are irregular. Females are larger, their cloaca is closer to that of a tortoise shell, their carapace is flat, their irises are yellow or green, and their carapace patterns often have linear or radial patterns. The Shuofang subspecies is larger than the southern subspecies. In some barren areas, adults with a body length of only 10-12 cm have been discovered. In the wilderness, it usually takes 5-12 years, and in some areas it takes 18 years. Males mature earlier than females.
