The olecranon is a kind of tortoise with a rather peculiar appearance, and it is an existing and relatively ancient reptile. They can live in the wild, wild eagle-billed turtles are generally distributed in mountain streams and streams, often in places where the flow is faster. In China, wild olecranon turtles are mainly distributed in some southern provinces, such as Hunan, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces.
The olecranon can also be raised in captivity. However, in general, the difficulty of raising them in captivity is relatively high. Because they are sensitive to their surroundings. For example, eagle-beaked turtles will be more sensitive to water quality, although they can be raised in tap water, but their growth in tap water may not be very good; Moreover, they do not like the dirty water quality very much, and they must pay attention to changing water at ordinary times. They also have high requirements for water temperature, and their growth is very bad when the water temperature is low, which is one of the reasons why they are mainly distributed in the south. Generally speaking, the olecranon can be raised, but it is difficult to raise.
Whether the olecranon needs to bask in the sun is a matter of debate. Some breeders believe that they need to bask, while others believe that it is not necessary to let them bask. You can first see the wild eagle mouth turtle, in fact, wild species generally stay in the water for a long time, not too sunny. However, if they are raised in captivity, it is better to let them bask in the sun regularly, which can promote their absorption of nutrients and help their growth; It can also eliminate some harmful bacteria and help their health. But it doesn't need to be exposed to the sun every day, just once every few days.
