2. Distinguish between Indian and Burmese tortoises

India A brief explanation of the difference between tortoises and Burmese tortoises: some Indian tortoises have neck shields, and some do not. The head spots and chest shield will be more accurate. The Indian tortoise has black spots on its head and the chest shield is small. The left and right edges of the chest shield are wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. Most of them are similar to parallel in the Burmese tortoise. The plastron of other Indian tortoises has two symmetrical large black spots running horizontally, while the black spots of the Burmese tortoise are all arranged vertically. You can take a look at the neck shields of Inland and Burmese respectively. Burmese has a strip of narrow armor on the top of its neck, but Inland does not. The top of its neck is the intersection of two pieces of armor. However, it is said that the neck shield is not guaranteed, because there are different Myanmars who do not have neck shields.
