The stone turtle recognizes its owner. Although the stone turtle is not very intelligent, it will recognize its owner after being kept for a long time. It can identify its owner through smell and sound. The owner needs to spend more time with it, feed it personally every day, tease it with food, touch it first when it is hungry, and then feed it. Over time, it will get to know the owner.
How a stone turtle recognizes its owner:

1. Not shrinking its head

Stone turtles will feel scared when they meet strangers , will retract its head into the turtle shell, but when the owner approaches it, it will not retract its head into the shell.

2. Clinginess

The stone turtle is very clingy after recognizing its owner. It will follow the owner and crawl wherever the owner is.

3. Receive food

When feeding a stone turtle, once you find it opening its mouth to receive food, it means that it trusts its owner very much and begins to recognize its owner.
