Dead leaf turtles recognize their owners. Their IQ is not high. They can only identify their owners by being familiar with their smell and voice. They cannot recognize their owners like kittens and puppies. But as long as the owner takes good care of it and interacts with the dead leaf turtle more, the dead leaf turtle will reach the conditioned reflex of recognizing the owner, and slowly recognize the owner.

The performance of the dead leaf turtle recognizing its owner

1. When the turtle recognizes its owner and sees the owner feeding, it will paddle with all four limbs in the water. Paddling very fast and frequently is a sign that the turtle is excited to see its owner. It is generally not very obvious and difficult for the owner to notice.

2. When the owner caresses him, he basically doesn’t resist and appears to enjoy it. However, when turtles are provoked, they may bite regardless of whether they know their owner.

3. A turtle that recognizes its owner will also get close to the owner. When the turtle is put on the ground, it will crawl towards the owner instead of constantly crawling away from the owner.
