? The flame tortoise is not born red, they need to go through the hair color before they become red. So they were green or yellow before they turned red. Flame tortoises will experience hair color after a period of time. After the hair color is completed, their carapace may turn red, but some will not turn red. Because many tortoises do not have the gene for hair color, their carapaces do not turn red even when they grow up. If the flame tortoise turns green, it may have moss on its body, and the breeder only needs to clean the moss with a brush.
? 1. Bask in the sun: Flame tortoises need to often bask in the sun when they have hair color, because the sun's rays can promote their hair color and make their color more bright.
2. Feeding: Feeding is an important factor affecting the hair color of the flame tortoise. If the breeder wants to make the flame tortoise grow color quickly, it is necessary to ensure that the food is sufficient, and it is best to feed it every day. Feeding food is best with meat and vegetables, animal feed is best to choose some shrimp or food containing astaxanthin, plant feed can feed some tender leaves of vegetables, can also be matched with some auxiliary color feed. But the feed can not be fed more, otherwise their pigments are too late to precipitate, even if the hair color is not necessarily good-looking.
