The big temple turtle recognizes its owner. Temple turtles are very timid. When they go to a new environment, they need some time to adapt. In the first few days, they will retract their heads into their shells and won't eat. At this time, don't disturb them and let them rest for a few days before trying again. Contact it, interact with it more when it doesn't resist, and feed it regularly every day. When it gets familiar with its owner, it will slowly recognize its owner.

How the temple turtle recognizes its owner:

1. Not shrinking its head

The temple turtle is timid when meeting strangers It will feel scared and retract its head into the turtle shell, but once it recognizes its owner and the owner approaches it, it will no longer retract its head into the shell.

2. Touching

After the temple turtle recognizes its owner, the owner can touch it at will. It will not feel scared, but will enjoy it.

3. Receive food

When feeding the temple turtle and find it opening its mouth to receive food, it means that it trusts its owner very much and begins to recognize its owner.
