The western painted turtle is a kind of turtle that can be raised artificially. Their breeding difficulty is still relatively low, in all species of turtles is a relatively easy to raise turtles. The adaptability of the western painted turtle to the environment is very strong. In the wild, even if the environment is not very suitable for living in the west, it will not endanger their lives, but will affect their growth rate to a certain extent. Artificial breeding varieties are also the same, they do not have very harsh requirements on the environment, they are not picky eaters, cold tolerance is also very strong, usually not easy to get sick.
However, it is relatively special in the juvenile stage, when their immune system and digestive system are not particularly perfect, so this stage needs to pay attention to maintenance, do not let them get sick. Furthermore, just bought back a period of time, the western tortoise will need a period of time to adapt to the new environment, this period of adaptation time also need to pay attention to maintenance.
To breed the western turtles, we need to pay attention to the water temperature conditions. Generally speaking, the most suitable water temperature for the growth and development of the western painted turtle is between 25-30 degrees. However, as mentioned above, the cold tolerance of the Western Brocade Turtle is good, so it is generally not necessary to heat up in the process of breeding. Unsuitable water temperature may affect their growth rate to some extent, but it will not endanger their health. If you want them to grow faster, you can heat them artificially. In winter, it can also not be heated, and then let the western tortoise naturally enter the state of hibernation.
