    Almost all tortoises are swimmers, and a few tortoises can swim well. However, tortoises are not suitable for long-term living in water, and their body structure is no longer suitable for paddling in the water as it continues to evolve. As a result, tortoises can only survive on land for the rest of their lives.

    Tortoises can swim in water, and some tortoises are very capable of swimming, but they do not have the ability to survive in the water for long periods of time. Since tortoises have been living on land for a long time, they have gradually evolved into a completely terrestrial body structure during the long-term evolution of the turtle species.

    Tortoises have no webbed fingers and thick forelimbs with large scales, making them unsuitable for paddling. Secondly, tortoises have high dorsal carapaces and bulky bodies that prevent them from paddling quickly in the water, but that doesn't mean they can't swim.

    Some tortoises, which are not good swimmers, can float on the surface of the water for months when forced to do so. However, it does not mean that tortoises can be raised as terracottas, so the range and depth of the water area in which tortoises are raised determine the life span of tortoises.

    There are different species of turtles and different sizes. For example, the largest Galapagos tortoises can grow up to meters long, while the Sulcata tortoises generally only grow to around 80 centimeters, and the smaller radiant tortoises can often grow up to 40 centimeters. Unlike terrapids, tortoises live on land, so they don't have webbed toes, are not very good at swimming, and only eat plants, and there are very few tortoises that eat meat.

    No, because his body is not suitable for swimming and the number of bends is not suitable for swimming guess or! But it can't be said that he couldn't swim and drowned all at once! After all, his turtle shell also produces a certain amount of buoyancy! He can only say that his evolution is not suitable for life in the water! It's about adapting to life on land!

    First of all, tortoises raised at home grow very slowly, don't worry about it growing very fast; The tortoises that do not grow big are: the Egyptian tortoise of the European line, the spotted tortoise of southern Africa, these turtles are very small in size and do not grow up. However, these turtles are all threatened with extinction and are on the verge of extinction, with the spotted tortoise (the world's smallest tortoise) and the Egyptian tortoise (the second smallest) being very rare.

    A first-time tortoise breeder is a person who raises tortoises for the first time, and also includes those who have raised aquatic tortoises before. Tortoises are an independent group of turtles, and their differences in morphological structure, living habits, living environment, etc., determine that their feeding methods are also different from aquatic turtles, and cannot be imitated to determine that their feeding methods are also different from aquatic turtles, and cannot be based on the breeding methods of aquatic turtles. In particular, first-time tortoises should be operated carefully in the process of raising tortoises to avoid emotional and economic losses caused by mistakes.

    Although the tortoise is covered in a hard carapace, it has a posture that is fearless of collision and anti-squeezing. However, when tortoises of different sizes are raised together, it is inevitable that the small ones will be squeezed and hungry, and the large ones will dominate. In the long term, the small ones will show symptoms of emaciation, fear, and timidity, and in severe cases, they will be at risk of death.

    Therefore, tortoises of different sizes must be kept separately. Normally, the tortoise carapace length is 5 cm long, that is, turtles with a difference of 5 cm in the length of the dorsal carapace should be kept separately.

    The tortoises that grow big are very expensive! Tortoises that don't grow are also expensive! The Egyptian tortoise in Europe, the spider tortoise in the Falklands, and the speckled tortoise in southern Africa are all very small, and the largest of them is the spider tortoise.

    These turtles are all threatened with extinction and are on the verge of extinction, with the spotted tortoise (the world's smallest tortoise) and the Egyptian tortoise (the second smallest) very, very rare. Some of them in the country are poaching and illegal smuggling. Personally, I don't agree with breeding, unless it can be proven to be CB.

    No one in the country has the patience to study and learn how to CB. Poaching is relatively fast. But this is going to be a recipe for no grandchildren.

    So medium-sized tortoises such as the four-clawed, Herman, and Continental (some of which are very beautiful) are the most affordable and easy to raise tortoises. View the original post

    Through comparative analysis of various aspects, it is concluded that the Burmese turtle has the fastest growth among all tortoise species.

    Burmese tortoises generally start mating in May, with July to August being the peak mating season. On average, they lay 30 percent more eggs than other tortoises, and they reproduce quickly and have a short growth cycle.

    Related supplement: Burmese tortoises are also known as dragon-clawed tortoises, dry tortoises, pillow tortoises, etc., and are one of the most common tortoises on the market. Although Burmese tortoises are often found in farmers' markets and pet markets in other provinces and cities, they are not as local, most of them are imported from Southeast Asia and then dispersed to various places.

    In recent years, resources have been depleted, and almost all of Myanmar's tortoises have become dependent on imports and smuggling by some traders. In addition to China, Myanmar.

    Different species of tortoises tend to have different lifespans, with Burmese land living for about 30-50 years, sulcata for 30-40 years, and star turtles for 50 years. To date, the longest-lived tortoise is the Galapagos tortoise, named Harriet, who lived to be around 176 years old, setting a Guinness Book of Records. If you want it to live for a long time, you must make sure that the temperature is right, that you provide proper light, and that you also pay attention to feeding.

    There are many species of tortoise fronts, but the longest-lived one is the Galapagos tortoise named Harriet, whose lifespan is 176 years, which is currently the Guinness Book of Records for the longest life expectancy among turtles. In addition to this, the average Burmese can live to be around 30-50 years old, Sucata can live to be 30-40 years old, and Star Tortoise can live to be around 50 years old.

    1. Suitable temperature: Turtles are ectothermic animals, so they have high requirements for temperature, especially tortoises. Under normal circumstances, the feeding temperature should be kept between 26-32, that is, the minimum can not be lower than 26, otherwise there will be the possibility of freezing, and the maximum can not be higher than 32, otherwise it will affect its appetite and may also lead to its summer sleep.

    2. Proper light: Tortoises need a certain amount of light during their growth, which can not only raise the temperature, help it digest, but also prevent the shell from softening. It should be noted that when the sun is shining, put a little water around it so that the light is not too strong and it is dried.

    In addition, you can also use a UVB lamp to fill it with light, although it is not useful to raise the temperature, but there is a certain amount of ultraviolet light.

    3. Pay attention to feeding: Feeding tortoises generally uses plant feed, such as vegetables, pastures, melons and fruits, and can also be fed a little animal feed, but don't feed too much, feed at most twice a week, too much is easy to overnutrition, resulting in its stunted growth. Don't use too much water for plant feed, but choose high-fiber plants.
