Brazilian tortoises are terrapins because they live in rivers or swamps. Terrapins and semi-terrapins have different habits. Terrapins live in the water, except during the breeding period. Half terrapins can live on land and need an amphibious environment. Terrapins and semi-terrapins also have different diets. Although their diets are mixed, terrapins generally prefer meat, and semi-terrapins are mostly vegetarian.
Is the Brazilian turtle a terrapin or a half-terrapin? What's the difference?

1. Is the Brazilian tortoise a terrapin or a semi-terrapin?

The Brazilian tortoise is a terrapin because they live in rivers, rice fields and lakes. And when it's sunny, I like to bask in the sun on the shore, but not for a long time.

2. What is the difference between

a terrapin and a half-terrapin? 1. Appearance: a terrapin has webbed toes and is fully webbed. A half-terrapin has only webbed toes or only half-webbed toes. This is the most intuitive way to distinguish a terrapin from a semi-terrapin.

2. Habits: Terrapins like to live in water and can also bask in the sun on land, but the time of basking in the sun can not be too long, otherwise there will be a lot of discomfort. Half terrapins can live on land, and a long period of land life will not affect them. When raising terrapins, you only need to build a drying platform for them, but when raising semi-terrapins, you need to create an amphibious environment for them.

3. Food: Terrapins and semi-terrapins are omnivorous animals, but terrapins usually prefer to eat meat, such as small fish, shrimp, red worms, animal viscera and so on. Half terrapins like to eat vegetarian food, usually like to eat some vegetables, fruits and other foods. Breeders need to feed food according to the habits of different turtles in the usual breeding process, but they need to ensure a balanced nutrition.
