of tortoise does the Brazilian tortoise belong to? The Brazilian tortoise is a terrapin because it lives mainly in water. But they only live in shallow water and breathe with their lungs like other tortoises. The Brazilian tortoise, also known as the Brazilian red-eared tortoise, is characterized by two rectangular red spots on the back of its head. The Brazilian red-eared turtle, a subspecies of the Brazilian painted turtle, is the most widely raised reptile in the world, but it has been listed as one of the 100 invasive alien species in the world because of its destruction of the ecological environment.
Brazilian tortoises 1. Sufficient space: To raise Brazilian tortoises, first of all, prepare containers 4-5 times larger than Brazilian tortoises, so that they can have enough space to move.
2. Appropriate water level: Although Brazilian tortoises are terrapins, they also breathe with their lungs. In the process of feeding, the water level should not be too deep to avoid them choking or suffocating. The breeder can determine the water level according to the size of the Brazilian tortoise. If it is an adult Brazilian tortoise, the water level can cover the back or leak a little bit of the back, so that they can breathe new air on tiptoe. If the tortoises are young, the water level can be over the plastron, so that they can breathe as soon as they look up.
3. Appropriate temperature: Brazilian tortoises like higher temperature, so it is better to control the temperature between 22-26 ℃ in the usual feeding process, and control the temperature above 0 ℃ and below 15 ℃ in hibernation.
