How do I raise American snapping turtles? For pets??

1. Snapping turtles should be raised with the same species, and should not be mixed with other turtles. Because snapping turtles will bite other turtles and feed on it.

2. Snapping turtles like shade, so the feeding tank should be placed in a cool and ventilated place. However, snapping turtles should be given 2 to 3 hours a day to bask in the sun, which has the effect of supplementing calcium and killing bacteria.

3. The difference between snapping turtles and other turtles is that there are big spines on the shell, which are uneven. It is easy to hide dirt and dirt, so you should pay attention to changing the water to keep the water clean, and at the same time, you should also use a soft brush to brush the dirt on the back of the turtle.

4. It is not advisable to place too much water in the snapping turtle breeding tank, only need to submerge the turtle's back shallowly, and the longest water depth is not more than five centimeters.

5. Snapping turtles do not have high requirements for water temperature, and only need to be stable within a range. The temperature of the tank suitable for snapping turtles is between 20 and 28 degrees, and the water quality is neutral to alkaline.

<>How snapping turtles are raised

1. The most suitable growth temperature for snapping turtles is 28 31; When the ambient temperature is below 17, snapping turtle activity decreases; When the temperature is lower than 10, the snapping turtle will enter hibernation, and when it is lower than 6, it will enter deep hibernation, so in the process of raising snapping turtles, we must pay attention to the temperature of the environment, which is very important for the healthy growth of snapping turtles.

2. Snapping turtles need to hibernate. Hibernation promotes sexual maturation of snapping turtles, keeps them in shape, prolongs their reproductive cycle, and also increases the turtle's resistance to viruses. Therefore, snapping turtles tend to have more brute force after natural hibernation, and at the same time are more fierce and aggressive.

However, hibernation also has a disadvantage for crocodiles, that is, hibernation will slow down the growth rate of snapping turtles. If it is a natural hibernation, generally when the ambient temperature is lower than 18, the owner needs to stop feeding the snapping turtle, let the snapping turtle excrete the storage in its body, and only after the storage in the snapping turtle's body is excreted clean, it can be allowed to enter hibernation.

3. Snapping turtles are prone to tail docking during the feeding period, so owners should pay attention to avoid snapping turtle tail breaking. The feeding environment is too small and will also cause the snapping turtle to break its tail, because the snapping turtle is forced to be in a curled state for a long time in such a feeding environment, and over time, it is easy to cause its tail part to die due to insufficient blood supply, blacken, and finally fall off. In addition, the momentum of the snapping turtle during feeding tends to cause it to slip backwards in the rearing container, causing its tail to break off because it hits the wall of the container.

In addition, snapping turtles may also be due to the depth of the water and cause tail breaking, generally speaking, the depth of the water required for crocodile breeding is equal to the height of the turtle's back, which is more beneficial to raising snapping turtles, so the owner should pay attention to control the water level of the snapping turtle.

4. In addition, in the process of raising snapping turtles, it is common for snapping turtles to rot and peel off their skin, although both of these are common phenomena of snapping turtles, but the two are completely different situations, and because the initial symptoms of the two are relatively similar, many turtle owners are difficult to distinguish between the two situations. However, if you pay attention, it is easy to distinguish between turtle rot and peeling. Rotten skin is a symptom of some kind of ** disease of turtles, such as turtle rot skin disease.

There are usually symptoms such as erosion, whitening or yellowing, and odor around the rotten skin, and the texture of the rotten skin is sticky, and the turtle rot skin disease can lead to the death of the sick turtle when the skin rot is severe; The peeling belongs to the normal growth phenomenon of snapping turtles, and the fast-growing snapping turtles shed their skins more frequently, and the peeling represents the growth of snapping turtles, and the owner does not need to intervene in this, so that the snapping turtles can shed their skins naturally.

5. During the breeding of snapping turtles, it is recommended to pay attention to the installation of a temperature control device and disinfection device in the turtle breeding environment to keep the feeding temperature suitable and the environment is good, so as to create a good breeding environment for snapping turtles and improve the efficiency of turtle breeding.

Dr. Paw Paw has introduced the way of raising snapping turtles here, I don't know if this content sharing has brought you a harvest, I hope your snapping turtles grow healthy and smoothly!

You have to be prepared first, the stupid orange guy grows very fast, the vitality of the crocodile is very tenacious, as long as it is not a sick turtle, it can be fed three meals a day, a meal is fed with 5 river shrimp, cut off the shrimp head, do not cut off the turtle's esophagus, it is best to buy about 10 cm, can hibernate, nothing is needed, the place to raise is not too small, not too low, to prevent the crocodile from crawling out, as long as you don't provoke him, it's okay, it's not fun to be bitten down after the big only file is sensitive, I have 2 crocodiles, 1 eagle's beak, 3 grass, 3 Brazil, I want to raise only Burma again, haha.

Alligator turtles are not only delicious in meat, but also have high medicinal value. After a long illness, sperm and blood deficiency, fatigue and fatigue, long-term paralysis and weakness, deficiency and cough are all effective, and it is also suitable for postpartum progress, anemia, insomnia and mental decline. Due to the already expensive selling price of alligator turtles for their medicinal value, there are now more and more farms that breed baby alligator turtles.

The alligator turtle has a mixed diet, and fish, loaches, and meat can all be its food. When feeding crocodile turtles, the amount of compound feed is generally 5%-10% of the total weight of the alligator turtle and fresh feed. Feed regularly and quantitatively 3 times a day, and feed a wide range of food.

Alligator turtles prefer to live in clean water. Therefore, in the process of feeding, attention should be paid to replacing new water. Moreover, in order to ensure the survival rate of alligator turtles, it is necessary to maintain a stable water temperature environment.

Although the alligator turtle can live in a hydrological station at 2-28 degrees Celsius. However, it is also necessary to keep the water temperature stable. If the water quality changes too much, the alligator turtle will also get sick or even die because the body cannot adjust quickly.
