Why is there an off white strip in the middle of the belly of a Brazilian tortoise?

The Brazilian turtle hatches in the egg, it has an umbilical cord, and the navel of the baby turtle that is not in the shell is incomplete, and there will be obvious white or light yellow traces, and it can be closed in three months to half a year under normal feeding conditions.

Because the body of the juvenile turtle is not fully developed at a young age, the decks of the dorsal and ventral carapaces have not yet keratinized and are relatively soft, so there is the concave phenomenon you see. The "off-white one" you see is the articulation between its two abdominal armors. As the body grows, the decks of the abdominal armor merge, and the "off-white strip" between the abdominal armor gradually disappears.

Additional note Upstairs: Only viviparous mammals have umbilical cords. Juvenile turtles hatch from eggs and do not have an umbilical cord.

When your baby Brazilian tortoise grows up, this will gradually disappear.

Huss Goose Huang is right, when your baby Brazilian turtle grows up, this situation will gradually disappear.

When the Brazilian turtle changes the water, you should wash his body well, you can brush it with a soft bristle, he sometimes has some microorganisms.

Your Brazilian turtle is infected, I have raised a lot of them before, and then white spots also began to appear on the body, and then **festered, and finally died. It is recommended to carry out scientific treatment as soon as possible, and to buy potions for sterilization and sterilization, otherwise death is a matter of time, this situation is very common, especially in summer, pay attention to environmental hygiene.

Water mildew, change the water frequently, it is good 1, the Brazilian turtle is a relatively easy turtle species. However, this does not mean that you can raise them indiscriminately, and you still need to pay attention to the method of raising Brazilian turtles.

2. Feeding rules:

Adults are recommended 3 times a week, but hatchlings can be once a day. Brazilian tortoises have a keen sense of sight and smell, so they are very good at grabbing food. Under the conditions of captivity, they like to eat animal bait, such as fish, pork, animal offal, mussels, snails and bloodworms (midges larvae), red heartworms (earthworms), mealworms (bread worms), fly maggots, etc., and the food should not have thorns and bones to avoid injury to turtles.

It is better to feed fresh raw meat, the meat becomes hard after cooking, and the turtle does not like to eat hard things. Brazilian turtles love shrimp. Adult or elderly Brazilian tortoises are extremely hungry, and some turtles will eat plants such as leaves, rice, and soft melons and fruits, but this is relatively rare.

Young turtles basically eat only meat. The red-eared turtle has no selective feeding time, and eats evenly day and night. In the state of hunger, there is a rush to eat, and the phenomenon of eating too much and eating too much occurs.

3. Hatchling turtle rearing:

Juvenile Brazilian tortoises can be raised in flat-bottomed containers, plastic pots, plastic troughs, glass tanks or boxes, and aquariums are all suitable.

Each baby turtle should have 5 litres of water to move around, and the depth of the water should not exceed the length of the turtle's body, so that the turtle can hold its feet to the ground when it breathes at the surface. At the same time, they must also be made of bricks and stone chips or buy a sundeck so that the turtle can dry its back. Floating islands are not suitable because hatchlings often can't climb up.

The water temperature that the hatchlings can adapt to is about 23-28 degrees Celsius. When it's cold, the air on the container should also be warmed, and adding a shade light to the tank can give you the best of both worlds. If the water temperature is still too low, you can set a heating rod in the water to adjust the temperature as much as possible.

4. Adult turtle breeding:

Adult turtles need much larger tanks so that they have enough room to move. To create an ideal environment, a pair of grown Brazilian tortoises need at least 100 litres of water. If the tank is too small, the Brazilian turtle will quickly become obese and sluggish, and if it falls into the water on all fours, it will drown because it cannot roll over.

There have also been cases of tortoiseshell stunting due to the size of the culture container. Large plastic basins, aquariums or large wooden containers with plastic sheeting can be used as turtle troughs. The most convenient is the trough with drainage holes, as it is easy to change the water and clean frequently.

In order to make the water temperature in the breeding tank reach the temperature preferred by the Brazilian turtle, the heating rod used in the aquarium is used, and the equipment and wiring should be prevented from getting stuck in the Brazilian turtle. The electric felt can also be placed at the bottom of the outside of the breeding box, and the synthetic resin rubber can be padded under the electric felt as an insulating material. However, the water temperature should not be higher than the outside temperature (about 25 to 30 degrees Celsius) to prevent the Brazilian turtle from catching cold.

Look at the ** Brazilian turtle shell seems to be white frost mold. It is recommended to go to the pet hospital to buy ** white frost mold medicine and sprinkle it in the turtle tank.

Because the water quality is not good. If these small white spots appear on the shell of the Brazilian turtle, it is likely to be rotting armor, and the reason for this is actually because the water quality of the Brazilian turtle is not particularly good. The turtle shell is invaded by bacteria, or the water temperature fluctuates, and the temperature is uneven, and the solution is; Give it clean water often to maintain a good water quality; Then there is the temperature fixed and not too much temperature difference, so that it will gradually get better.

If the white spots are not good and continue to expand, I suggest that you sprinkle some large grains of refined salt in the water, which has the effect of anti-inflammatory and sterilization, and you can also use some Qingda water, or nitrofuransilin sprinkled all over the water, so that after a few days, the little turtle will get better if you maintain good water quality.

Extended information: Some precautions for raising turtles to prevent problems before they occur.

1.Water quality.

Mistake 1: In order to ensure that the water quality is clean, some people will constantly change the water, even many times a day, and the turtle is unable to adapt to the constant change of water temperature, which is easy to cause indigestion.

Solution: Generally, it is enough to change the water once every 1-2 days, as long as the water is not muddy and smelly. If it is combined with the filtration system, it can basically be kept for a week or half a month before changing the water.

Mistake 2: Raise turtles directly with tap water. Tap water contains chlorine (caused by bleach, which is used to kill harmful microorganisms in the water), which can cause tortoise rot, rotten nails, and white eyes.

Solution: To raise turtles in tap water, you need to expose the water to the sun for 1-2 days or use Yulebao to remove chlorine.

Mistake 3: After changing the water, the turtle thinks that it will be cleaner to eat, but forgets to clean up the food residues and feces excreted after eating, resulting in water pollution.

Solution: Generally, change the water half an hour after feeding, and clean the container when changing the water. If the water quality itself is polluted, you can change the water first, not too much new water, the water level can reach the turtle's abdomen, and then change the water after the turtle eats and excretes.

2.Feeding. Mistake 1: Long-term feeding of single or inferior feed causes turtles to be malnourished and their eyes dry and dull.

Solution: Feed more different kinds of feed, fresh meat, and food diversity are the guarantee of turtle health. In addition, you can add some vitamins, calcium tablets, oxytetracycline, etc. to the food to enhance the turtle's immunity.

Mistake 2, the turtle can eat as much as it wants, causing the turtle to suffer from indigestion and even death.

Solution: It is best to feed the turtle within 20 minutes, 1-2 times a day. The feed that cannot be eaten should be fished out in time to avoid polluting the water quality.

It is generally limescale, and it is best to brush it with a brush every time you wash it.

"There are white spots on the shell of the turtle, which indicates that the turtle has water mold. The disease can be cured by raising turtles dry, because when the turtle is out of the water, the mold cannot grow. But turtles can't be raised dry, and germs may remain in many places, so even if the owner raises it, there is still a danger.

If the owner wants to completely ** turtle water mildew, in addition to dry raising, he must also change the water frequently, and he should usually let the turtle bask in the sun. If the turtle is in serious condition, it needs to be wiped with iodine all over the body, and the fish tank needs to be exposed to the sun and disinfected.

Take it out and go buy iodophor.

Apply to it and do not put it in water. Or both use erythromycin ointment for pink eye.

Okay, too. Dry for two or three hours before putting it back in the water. Change the water more often, and add salt to the new water when you change it.

What is the thing with a tortoise belly that is white? It should be caused by long-term hypoxia, and it is enough to give him adequate oxygen.

The white flocculent presence on the body of the Brazilian turtle is turtle water mold.

Turtle water mold disease is mainly caused by water mold and cotton mold. In the daily feeding management, the turtle should be often exposed to the sun to inhibit the breeding of water mold and play a preventive role.

Sick turtles should be isolated and kept separately, and the original feeding container should be soaked in permanganate Xiangyan potassium solution for 30 minutes to disinfect and sterilize. Other turtles that are not sick should take precautions and be fed some antibiotics. Keep the turtle house clean and do not feed spoiled food.

Prevention and control methods: First, strengthen feeding management and add nutrients such as vitamin E to the feed; The water quality of the breeding pond should be kept fresh, the bottom of the pond should not be hard and rough, and the turtle body should be avoided as much as possible to avoid mechanical damage such as collision injury, jujube digging or abrasion.

Second, the injured turtle should be immediately antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, speed up wound healing, and be fed with antibiotics.

The third is to apply 1% sulfonamide ointment to the lesion, rinse it in clean water after 1 2 minutes to remove the excess drug, and then put it into the original pool to raise, and repeat the drug 1 time after 3 4 days. The fourth is to soak the turtle body in 3% salt water and 3% baking soda liquid mixture for 20 30 minutes, and soak it 2 or 3 times a day until it is cured.
