Is a Brazilian tortoise a freshwater tortoise? How should it be raised?

It is a freshwater turtle that feeds meat and green rai.

1. The hardness of water

As a freshwater turtle, the Brazilian turtle needs to use a water source of a certain hardness to raise the dry Na's breeding. The hardness of water reflects the content of metal ions such as calcium and magnesium, which has a very important impact on the growth and development of Brazilian turtles. The hardness of the water can be tested with a simple measuring tool, and the average water hardness should be controlled at about 100ppm.

At the same time, when the hardness of the water is too high, it will produce undispersed scale, which will affect the water quality, and the water source should be replaced in time.

2. Carbon monoxide content in water

The amount of carbon monoxide in the water is an important aspect of Brazilian turtle farming, and too high a carbon monoxide level can have a serious negative impact on the turtle's respiratory and immune systems. To do this, it is necessary to control the quality of the water source and avoid excessive levels of carbon monoxide in the water during feeding or dosing. In addition, frequent water source changes and enhanced use of ventilation devices can effectively reduce the level of carbon monoxide in water.

3. Water temperature control

Brazilian turtles need to control different water temperatures at different growth stages to avoid excessive or low water temperatures that adversely affect their growth and development. In general, the water temperature can be controlled between 23 and 28 in spring and summer, and 20 to 22 in autumn and winter.

At the same time, too rapid changes in water temperature can also have an impact on Brazilian turtles, so it is necessary to pay attention to the smooth change of temperature. For this purpose, the water temperature can be controlled using equipment such as thermostats, and the feeding environment can also be optimized so that the water temperature changes as smoothly as possible.

4. Water quality monitoring

The monitoring of water quality is an aspect of Brazilian turtle farming that needs to be taken into account at all times. Once there is a problem with the water quality, such as pH value, dissolved oxygen content, ammonia nitrogen content and other excessive silver levels, it will pose a threat to the growth and health of Brazilian turtles, and even lead to the death of turtles. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor water quality at all times, change water sources regularly, and strengthen water filtration and purification.

Brazilian turtles are mainly carnivorous, meat, fish, and offal.

The water should be tapped, but it must be able to land on the shore, otherwise it will drown. Dry cultivation is also fine. Get in the sun every day.

The red eared turtle (scientific name: trachemysscriptaelegans) is a subspecies of the Brazilian painted turtle in the family Painted Turtles.

The adult body is oblong, the dorsal carapace is gently raised, the ridge is distinct, and the posterior margin is serrate. The head is broad, the snout is blunt, and the neck has yellow-green longitudinal stripes, and there are 1 long red patches on each side of the back of the eyes. The head and neck flanks and ventral surfaces are sandwiched with yellow-green linear strips. The eyes are medium-large, and the neck is short and thick.

The whole body is colorful and colorful, with emerald green on the back, and each shield has yellow-green inlaid ring-like markings; The ventral carapace is flat, pale yellow, with a regular arrangement of black rings that resemble a copper coin pattern. The limbs are stubby and short, with well-developed webbing between the toes. 5 claws on the forelimbs and 4 claws on the hind limbs.

The tail is moderate. During the turtle seedling period, the color is bright and eye-catching, and the whole body is covered with yellow-green inlays, uneven thickness stripes and patterns, and as the individual grows up, the color and pattern gradually fade. The male turtle is small, with a long trunk, long claws on the forelimbs, a thicker tail base, and a cloaca far from the posterior margin of the ventral carapace; The female turtle is large, with a short and thick trunk, short claws on the forelimbs, a thin and short tail of the spike, and a cloaca foramen close to the posterior edge of the ventral carapace.

Brazilian turtles should be cultured in shallow water.

The Brazilian turtle is an aquatic turtle, and the aquatic turtle needs to have a place to rest, and lives in deep water for a long time, and the water depth is more than twice the height of the tortoiseshell, and due to the consumption of physical strength, the Brazilian turtle will also choke or drown. Therefore, it is best to keep the Brazilian turtle in shallow water, the water level should not exceed the height of the dorsal carapace, or set up a stone protruding from the water surface in deep water as a place for it to rest.
