The yellow-fronted box turtle is a small species of turtle that can be kept at home. Before breeding them, it is better to know their attributes first. Dry tortoises and tortoises are two kinds of tortoises, and their habits are quite different. Yellow-fronted box turtles belong to terrapins, which can live in water and can be raised in water.
However, it should be noted that the yellow-fronted box turtle is not a pure terrapin, but a semi-terrapin. This means that when breeding them, they cannot be completely raised in water. They need to be raised on land and water. They can't stay in the water all the time, otherwise it may endanger their health. Moreover, the water level should not be too high when farming, if the water is too deep, it will endanger their health, so it is necessary to properly regulate the water level.
As mentioned above, although the yellow-fronted box turtle is a kind of terrapin, it is not a pure terrapin, but a semi-terrapins, and is relatively terrestrial. Therefore, in the process of aquaculture, special attention should be paid to controlling the water level, so that the water level can not be too high. Generally speaking, the water level can be about two-thirds of the height of their back shell, not too high. If you feel that it is not easy to control, you can directly adjust the water level to about 5 centimeters, which is more appropriate for most yellow-fronted box turtles.
In addition, there are still some problems to be noted in the process of breeding. For example, the arrangement of the environment can be arranged in both water and land environments in the container. Moreover, the cultivation of hibernation period needs special attention, when they are in hibernation state, they can directly provide a humid environment, without water.
