? Snapping turtles are alien invasive species, because they are irascible, aggressive, and reproduce in large quantities. If they are released into the wild, they will compete for the resources of native turtles, and even bring native turtles to the brink of extinction. And they have no natural enemies in our country, once they breed in the wild, it is likely to affect the local ecological environment, but also affect the diversity of local organisms, so snapping turtles are alien invasive species. Although snapping turtles are more destructive to the environment, it is no problem to raise them at home, and breeders only need to pay attention not to release them.
snapping turtles 1. Temperature: snapping turtles do not require high water temperature and can live in water at 3-45 degrees Celsius, but their most suitable temperature is 20-33 degrees Celsius. The best way to raise snapping turtles at home is to control the water temperature above 20 C.
2. Container: Snapping turtles are large in size, especially giant snapping turtles, which can reach about 70 centimeters in size when they grow up. Breeders need to prepare a container twice their size to make them live a better life.
3. Food: Snapping turtles are carnivorous, like to eat some small fish, shrimp, loach, lean meat, animal viscera, etc., but breeders also need to feed with some vegetables or fruits, so as to ensure a balanced nutrition.
