What is the personality of the Malayan snail turtle?

In general, they are sensitive, timid and gentle, and less adaptable to new environments. Malayan snail turtles like warmth and are afraid of cold, and are not suitable for purchase in late autumn, early spring and winter, with a low survival rate and not easy to feed. Although the Malayan snail turtle is an aquatic turtle, the newly purchased turtle is not easy to be placed in deep water at the beginning, so the turtle should be placed in shallow water to avoid alarming the turtle and gradually adapt to the new environment.

For the more active ones, you can try to feed earthworms, mealworms, snails, etc. The Malayan snail turtle has weak adaptability, and must pay strict attention to the change of temperature during daily feeding, the ambient temperature is 18, there is a stop feeding, and there is little activity at 15 degrees, and gradually enters hibernation, when the ambient temperature is high and low, and the temperature difference is about 4, the turtle will crawl, stretch out or shrink its head and other states. The temperature in winter should not be below 10 for a long time, otherwise the turtle is prone to rectal obstruction and other symptoms, and severe cases cannot be treated.

After three days of rest, you can try feeding. When you find him stretching his neck and swimming slowly under the water, as if looking for food, put the prepared beef, shrimp or snail in the water, and remember not to put it in front of his eyes, because it will be useless at all, but it will easily scare him, and the best effect will only be achieved by letting him search for it himself. The snail should crush the shell, but not clean.

If you don't heat it, you will definitely die to maintain the water quality, maintain the water temperature at 28 degrees, and feed the turtle food... But it's better to feed the snails... I don't recommend raising.,Grow very slow and don't interact.。。。

But my family has recently exploded with streaks, and it can still be eaten (turtle food soaked soft), and it bites, very powerful... If you like.

Temperature: To raise a Malayan snail turtle, you need to control the ambient temperature at about 25 degrees and not lower than 10 degrees. Lighting:

The water used to raise them needs to be treated with chlorine removal and kept clean when raising. Feeding: You can feed some snails, shellfish, and some small fish and shrimp.

They can be eaten quietly. <

1. Temperature: Raising Malayan snail turtles requires controlling the ambient temperature at about 25 degrees. They have poor adaptability to temperature, and you need to be careful not to change the temperature too much when breeding.

When the ambient temperature is 18 degrees, you may not eat. When the temperature drops below 15 degrees, they go into hibernation. It should be noted that if the temperature falls below 10 degrees for a long time, they will die.

2. Light: Malayan snail turtles like to dry their shells. Enough light allows them to absorb calcium, and the carapace is harder and healthier, which also has certain benefits for their digestion.

Natural sunlight can be used when conditions permit. If it's a cloudy day, you'll need to use a sun-back light to provide light.

3. Water quality: Malayan snail turtles have certain requirements for water quality, and they need to be raised with water that has been dechlorinated. Attention should be paid to ensure that the water quality is clean to prevent the breeding of bacteria in the water, which may affect the health of Malayan snail turtles.

4. Feeding: The favorite thing about Malay snail turtles is all kinds of snails. Of course, other foods, such as small fish, shrimp, etc., are also acceptable.

When feeding them, it is best to feed some mollusks such as snails and shells. In addition, it is important to pay attention to nutritional balance and do not always feed a single food. They have little interest in insect food.

Raising a Malayan snail turtle can be challenging. They have relatively high temperature requirements, and it is best to control the temperature at about 25 degrees. If the temperature difference is too large or the temperature drops below 10 degrees for a long time, they are very likely to die.

When raising them, it is also necessary to pay attention to the control of light, water quality and food.

<> Malayan snail turtles.

The Malayan snail turtle is not large, usually about the same size as the adult turtle, but the Malayan snail turtle is very carnivorous and specializes in eating some mollusks, so it is not very easy to raise, after all, there is no way to buy food in some seasons.

The Malayan snail turtle is a very slow-growing tortoise. The head is broad, with a black top; a "V" shaped white stripe on the edge, extending over the upper part of the eye frame to the neck, and the stripe gradually thickens; The snout is blunt, surrounded by white eyeliner, and it seems to be wearing glasses; There are four white longitudinal stripes at the nostrils, with a yellowish-white spot from the anterior end of the orbit, and a yellowish-white oblique stripe at the lower end of the spot, extending from the lower orbit to the neck, and gradually thickening; The upper jaw ** is "A" shaped, and the lower jaw ** has 2 thick white stripes that extend to the neck, and the neck is black with several longitudinal stripes of varying thickness.

The dorsal armor is black, and the 3 ridges of ** are more obvious; The marginal shield is yellow (the larvae are distinct), and there are black patches at the nail bridge; ventral carapace yellow, with large black patches on each shield; The posterior margin of the abdomen is deeply notched. The limbs are black with yellowish and white margins. Longitudinal stripes of color, webbed between fingers and toes.

The ventral carapace** of females and males is flat and not depressed. Depending on the shape of the tail, a turtle with a thick and long tail is a male, and vice versa is a female.

Malayan snail turtle (scientific name: Malayemys subtrijuga) has a slightly hooked jaw. The masticatory surface of the upper jaw has strong ridges, but the anterior jaw is not ridged.

dorsal carapace ridge raised or flat, anterior margin may have neck gap, anterior and posterior margins may be serrate; neck shield broad, triangular; 2 hip shields. lamina hexagonal, usually with 2 supragluteal plates; The inner ventral plate is located anterior to the humeral thoracic shield seam. The posterior margin of the ventral carapace is absent and deep.

The limbs are cylindrical, and the forelimbs are 5 claws. The head is broad, with a black top; a "V" shaped white stripe on the edge, extending over the upper part of the eye frame to the neck, and the stripe gradually thickens; Kisses are blunt, like warmth and fear of cold, and live in streams, swamps, and rice fields. Likes to eat snails, small fish, earthworms, worms and small crustaceans.

It is found in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

There are two main reasons why turtles float in the water:

a) Malnutrition leads to floating. The turtle does not eat for a long time, which leads to malnutrition, decreased physical fitness, and becomes emaciated and floating.

b) White-eye disease causes floating. With white eye disease, the turtle cannot see anything with its eyes, its appetite decreases, and eventually it refuses to eat and floats.

3. Prevention and control. a) Improve nutrition. Usually strengthen the nutritional combination of feeding turtle feed, you can add an appropriate amount of B vitamins and vitamin C to the feed. For those who are confirmed to be malnourished and floating, they can be soaked with B vitamins and vitamin C.

2) Prevention and control of the virus. Strengthen water quality management and carry out regular disinfection and sterilization to prevent the breeding of white-eye virus. For those who are determined to be caused by white eye disease, they can be carried out according to the **method of white eye disease**.

That one basically didn't live long, and this disease can't be cured! Unless it is in good health and suddenly comes back to life one day, it will only die.

Emergency response leads to enteritis.

It inhabits areas of river paddy fields and ponds, and generally inhabits streams and swamps with slow currents, and feeds on aquatic snails, freshwater snails, and clams. Occasionally prey on aquatic insects or shrimp and crabs. This special eating habit makes it not easy for snail turtles to adapt to long-term captivity, unless they can often provide crustacean food, and they are more timid by nature, so try not to disturb them in the early stage of breeding.

Feeds on snails, prefers to eat snails, small fish, earthworms, worms and small crustaceans.
