General Care Discussion :: if you have more than one turtle....

[edgerton]

is it hard to tell them apart?

[713]

you have to find some sort of physical characteristic

for me, Criss has a yellow spot in the front tip of his shell and is a bit bigger than Angel whose tail curls up at the tip

Their personalities, once you get to know them, also help distinguish who they are.

I tell mine apart by the markings on their bellies.

I had 3 at one point and it took me awhile to figure out who was who.. but the markings on their shells were very different.. so that's how I told them apart. At some point they also were different sizes..

Both of mine have drasticly (IMO) different shells, so its very easy for me to tell them apart, but my boyfriend has a hard time with it...lol
