Does to heat up. It is a poikilothermic animal, so its adaptability to external temperature is not as good as that of homeotherms. If the temperature changes frequently and the temperature difference is relatively large, it is easy to cause illness. After adding the cover, the temperature can be better controlled. There is no need to worry about the temperature rising all the time. Generally, the heating rod will stop heating when it reaches a certain temperature. If the cover is not added, the evaporation of water will be very serious.
1, be helpful for growing: Keep temperature constant to tortoise, the biggest advantage is to be helpful for its growth. Generally, greenhouse turtles are relatively large, because in such temperature conditions, its metabolism is very fast, so it is easy to grow, if the temperature is relatively low, its vitality will be limited.
2. Enhance appetite: As a poikilothermic animal, the tortoise's appetite is also closely related to the temperature. When the temperature is high, the appetite is relatively strong, and it is easier to feed at this time. If the appetite is not very strong, it is likely to be caused by the low temperature, which requires appropriate warming.
3. Disease prevention: The environment with high temperature is generally not easy to get sick. Of course, this is also a prerequisite, that is, pay attention to changing water at ordinary times. If the water is not changed in time, the high temperature will lead to bacterial growth, which will affect the health of the turtle, and even lead to its illness.
