is a kind of aquatic tortoise, mainly distributed in North America, living in lakes, ponds, rivers and other places. Their carapaces are red and brown or black, and they look like burning flames, so they are called flame turtles. Their feeding habits are miscellaneous. They will eat some snails, crayfish, tadpoles, small fish and other foods when they are young. When they grow up, they will prefer plant feed. When they are raised at home, they can feed some watermelon, vegetable leaves, bananas and other foods. Flame tortoises have strong adaptability and can survive in water temperature of 0-42 C. Therefore, as long as adequate food is guaranteed and water quality management is strengthened, flame tortoises can be well raised.
flame tortoises 1. Containers: Flame tortoises are still relatively large when they grow up, so it's better to choose a bigger container at the beginning, so as to avoid their discomfort caused by later replacement. In addition, a drying platform can be built in the container so that they can climb up to bask in the sun.
2. Feeding: Flame tortoises can be fed once a day in childhood and once every two days in adulthood. In the process of breeding, attention should be paid to the diversity of feeding to avoid their single feeding habits.
3. Water temperature: Flame tortoises have strong adaptability and can survive in the water temperature of 0-42 ℃, but their favorite water temperature is 23-28 ℃, and too high or too low water temperature will affect their appetite, so breeders had better control the water temperature between 23-28 ℃.
4. Water level: The flame tortoise is an aquatic tortoise. The breeder can control the water level above the carapace or about twice the carapace.
