The yellow-headed turtle recognizes its owner. Although yellow-headed turtles are not very intelligent, they will become familiar with them after being carefully raised by their owners for a long time. If you want it to recognize its owner, you must not scare it casually, and avoid touching its head, and try not to put it in your hands, as this will cause discomfort to it. The owner needs to be more patient, and it is best to do everything by himself, interact more, and accompany him more, so that he can gradually become familiar with the owner.
Shows that a turtle recognizes its owner:
1. If a turtle recognizes its owner, it will become more excited when it sees its owner feeding, and it will paddle very fast in the water. Then it opens its mouth and waits to be fed.
2. If turtles are placed on the ground, they will not crawl towards strangers, but will only follow their owners' footsteps.
3. If the turtle gently crawls on your instep and stays there, it means that the turtle feels very safe on your instep and trusts you very much.
4. When the owner approaches the tortoise, it will not show fear and retract its head into the turtle shell. Instead, it will be in a leisurely and contented state, which means that it has put down its guard against you and recognizes the owner.
