Seek to identify the turtle breed and look at the turtle species

Grass tortoise, commonly known as the tortoise.

This color should be "Ink Turtle".

There are two opinions about the "Ink Turtle", one is that it is a mature male grass turtle. Another point of view is to say that it is another species.

Male Chinese grass turtle. Mature male grass turtles turn black and are called "cutter turtles".

There are many varieties of turtles, and they are widely distributed, but most turtle species have special requirements for the environment, coupled with the destruction of the natural environment, the number of wild turtles is getting smaller and smaller, and there are not many species we can see in life. Today I will talk to you about the 5 most common turtle breeds.

1st place: Brazilian tortoise.

Native to North America, the Brazilian tortoise has successfully invaded every continent except the North and South Poles due to its superior survivability, adaptability and reproductive ability, and is listed as one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species in the world. After being introduced into the country, it quickly multiplied and occupied rivers and lakes, seriously threatening the survival of native turtle species.

2nd place: Grass tortoise.

The grass turtle is a native turtle species in China, and it is widely distributed in China. As the male grass turtle grows older, the body surface will gradually ink, and some male grass turtles will even turn their whole body into carbon ink, which is also the origin of the commonly known "turtle". Grass turtles have a strong ability to adapt to the domestic climate, and the difficulty of raising them is low.

Moreover, the grass turtle has good interaction and diversified body surface characteristics, which is very suitable for keeping as a pet.

3rd place: Flower turtle.

The flower turtle is also a native turtle species in China, mainly distributed in the southern part of China. The body surface of the tortoise** is covered with bright yellow fine lines, especially the fine lines on the head are the most obvious and unique. The ventral carapace of the flower tortoise is brownish-yellow, and each carapace has a large ink-stained patch with bead-like circles on both sides, so it is also called"Pearl turtle"。

Flower turtles have a docile temperament, and there are few fights when they are raised. However, flower turtles have high requirements for water quality and are highly susceptible to rotting skin and armor.

Fourth place: snapping turtle.

The snapping turtle is also native to North America and at first glance looks like an armored crocodile and is a ferocious predator. Snapping turtles were originally introduced to the country as carnivorous turtles, and later emerged in the pet market because of their domineering appearance. The snapping turtles that flow into the wild also show a trend of flooding because they have no natural predators, and because they are apex predators, they pose a certain threat to animals in the native environment, and even humans.

5th place: Yellow-throated water turtle.

The yellow-throated water turtle is also a native turtle species in China, with a cute appearance and bright colors, and is deeply loved by turtle friends. In the early years, it was wildly hyped, ** extremely high, and in recent years, the market has tended to be rational and turned into a civilian pet. There are many varieties of yellow-throated turtles, among which the small green species is deeply loved by turtle lovers because of its more beautiful color, greater growth changes, and greater playability.

The above 5 species of turtles are the more common turtle species in the domestic market, how many have you seen?

The red-eared turtle, also known as the Brazilian turtle and the red-eared turtle, is one of the subspecies of the painted turtle of the family Ze Turtle family, and is a semi-aquatic turtle species. Although the red-eared turtle is also known as the Brazilian turtle, it is not native to Brazil, but to the Mississippi River and Rio Grande River basins in North America. Now it has been used as a pet by many families to breed or ornamental pets, the Chinese grass turtle is commonly known as the turtle, the golden turtle, the golden thread turtle, the ink turtle, the mud turtle, the mountain turtle, the longevity turtle, etc., is a kind of turtle under the turtle family.

Li Shizhen once said: "There are three hundred and sixty insects, and the turtle is the long turtle, and the spirit of the insect is also the elder." ”

In the international market, the Chinese grass turtle is also very popular. The people of Japan, the Philippines, Europe and the United States regard it as a symbol of "good luck and longevity".

Summary. Pro: This is the larger Brazilian tortoise.

Pro: This is the larger Brazilian tortoise.

It's a normal breed.

Turtles, a genus of turtles in the family Tortoise, are extant ancient reptiles.

** In 500-2000

Some people say it's a stone turtle?

It's not that the pro this is bigger.

Stone turtles are small.

Judging from the head pattern and shell characteristics on the **, this belongs to the yellow-eared turtle in the Brazilian turtle.

The yellow-eared turtle is a relatively easy turtle to raise. They are well adapted to the environment, are less prone to illness, and have a relatively long lifespan. They are also relatively easy to feed, a lot of food can be eaten, if you don't usually have time to prepare other food for them, you can also feed turtle feed directly.

However, if you want the yellow-eared turtle to grow well and fast, you also need to take care of it so that they can grow well.

How to raise yellow-eared turtles to grow big.

1. Sufficiently large container: In order to make the yellow-eared turtle grow bigger, it is necessary to prepare a large enough container, and the lack of space is one of the important factors restricting the body size of the yellow-eared turtle. It is better not to polyculture, otherwise it is easy to run out of space.

2. Sufficient food: In order to make them grow big, feeding is also a very important aspect, and adequate nutrition is a necessary factor for them to grow. Animal feed contains the most nutrients, so it can be fed mainly animal feed, such as fish and shrimp, earthworms, and other insects.

Moreover, feeding is best done every day. Especially when the yellow-eared turtle is still relatively young, the growth rate is fast at this time, and the nutrition must be sufficient.

3. Suitable water environment: Providing a suitable water environment is also helpful to promote the growth of yellow-eared turtles. The water temperature needs to be in a suitable range, between 20-32 degrees, if it is not suitable, you can adjust it manually.

Water quality is also very important, change the water regularly, and if you use tap water, you must use it in the sun before using it.

4. Basking in the sun every day: Basking in the sun is also very beneficial to promoting the development of yellow-eared turtles, because light can promote the absorption of nutrients by yellow-eared turtles. You can let them bask in the sun every day, and their development will be good.

This is a Brazilian tortoise, with a strong ability to live, which is important for the ecological impact of water conservancy, he eats everything, and has almost no natural enemies.

Yellow-throated water turtle is very similar to a turtle, strong disease resistance, elegant appearance, there are two light yellow horizontal stripes on the side of the head and behind the eyes, the throat is yellow, the dorsal carapace is flattened, there is a ridge in the middle, the dorsal carapace is brownish yellow or tan, the abdominal carapace is yellow, and there are large black spots.

2.Pearl turtles are easy to raise, their appearance is also very beautiful, their adaptability is relatively strong, ** is also low, the dorsal carapace is dark brown with pale yellow patterns, the abdominal carapace is yellow, there are large black spots, limbs, and stripes on the neck. Hope!

1.Turtles are usually divided into three categories, which are tortoises, terrapids, and semi-tortoises.

2.Among them, the species of water turtles include hawksbill turtles, hognose turtles, musk turtles, Chinese grass turtles and flame turtles.

3.The tortoises are mainly Burmese tortoises, leopard tortoises, Burmese star tortoises, and sulcata tortoises.

4.Semi-water turtles are commonly found in the Golden Turtle, Huang Yuangui, Asian Giant Turtle, Started Turtle and so on.

5.However, there are also big differences in the habits of turtles.

The male and female of the turtle are judged by the length of its tail (long is male, short is female), or its ventral carapace (concave is male, flat is female), or its cloaca (beyond the dorsal carapace is male, vice versa). However, the above judgment methods are accurate only by sub-adult or adult, and if it is a juvenile, the above criteria should not be used. In addition, the juvenile can be judged by comparison, that is, if the reaction of all aspects is not the same, the probability of the male and female regretting the lesion is relatively increased.

Because males are naturally more active, both are placed on the ground at the same time, and the first to move is usually male. In addition, the anal shield can also be compared, and the ventral armor is closest to the tail of the chin. If the angle of the opening is small, it is usually female, and vice versa.

In the past, a master taught me a method to identify people who are difficult to judge gender from their appearance, for your reference. It is to grasp the tortoise's dorsal carapace from above with your hands, so that the tortoise's limbs are suspended in the air, and if its tail is hooked downward and forward (as it was during mating), it is almost certainly male. Box turtles are not applicable.

There are many types of turtles, such as tortoises, water turtles, semi-water turtles, etc., which can be divided into animal turtles, plant turtles, omnivorous turtles according to its feeding habits.

The types of turtles can be divided into five types: terrestrial turtles, aquatic turtles, semi-aquatic turtles, marine turtles, and bottom turtles according to their different living environments. For example, the aquatic turtles have abundant webbing (duck-like paws) between the toes and fingers of their limbs, which are suitable for living in deep water. Terrestrial turtles, on the other hand, have stout and cylindrical limbs that are adapted to crawling on marshes and land; Sea turtles that live in the sea have paddle-like limbs and a pair of salt glands to secrete excess salt from their bodies.

According to the food characteristics of turtles, turtles can be divided into three types: animal turtles, plant turtles, and omnivorous turtles. The feeding habits of aquatic turtles are generally omnivorous, such as turtles, yellow-throated water turtles (details), etc.; Most of the semi-aquatic turtles are animal, such as flat-chested turtles, three-line closed-shell turtles, and golden-headed closed-shell turtles (details); However, the yellow-edged box turtle and the yellow-fronted box turtle are omnivorous. Most of the terrestrial turtles are plant-based, such as Burmese tortoises, four-clawed tortoises, etc.

Some turtles are more resistant to hunger and thirst, but they are not easy to die if they do not eat for several years.

1. Looking at the body shape of the turtle, it is generally thick on land and thin on water.

2. Look at the turtle's nose, generally the one who wins the hook nose is on land, and other water.

3. Look at the turtle's tail, the tail of the tortoise is generally short and thick, and the water is slender.

4. Looking at the turtle's forefeet, the forelimbs of tortoises are generally longer and stronger, and the opposite is true for turtles.

5. Looking at the hind feet of the tortoise, the hind limbs of the tortoise are generally like elephant legs. Turtles maybe.

6. Look at the claws, the claws of the water turtle are sharp and webbed, and the sharp and barbed shape is because the water turtle is generally carnivorous, which is easy to prey on and tear meat, and the webbed is naturally for swimming.

7. Look at the eyes, the pupils of the turtle are small and sharp, and the tortoise basically can't see the clear boundary of the pupil, which is completely black.

8. Looking at the scales, tortoise scales are rough and thick, the reason is to keep as much water as possible and protect themselves from other land animals. The scales of the turtle are delicate and smooth, in order to reduce the resistance when swimming.

9. Looking at the walking posture, a healthy tortoise will use its limbs to prop up its entire body off the ground and walk calmly and steadily, so it is almost impossible to hear the sound of walking. Terrapids, on the other hand, have a harder time walking on land, because their limbs are shorter, their strength is not enough, and their joints are bent differently than tortoises, so they will constantly make the sound of their belly armor hitting the ground when walking, and their movements are clumsy.

This turtle resembles a turtle, with strong disease resistance and an elegant appearance, with two light yellow horizontal stripes on the side of the head and behind the eyes, and a yellow throat.
