? The razor turtle wants to bask in the sun, because the origin of the razor turtle is the United States, Mexico and other low latitude areas, the temperature in these areas is relatively high, and the sunshine is abundant, the razor turtle also has the habit of climbing ashore every day to bask in the sun, so the family also needs to give them the sun. Razor turtles bask in the sun to promote the production of calcium and kill bacteria on their carapaces. In addition, more sunshine can also improve their immunity and promote their growth and development.
If they are not exposed to the sun in captivity, they will develop soft nails, soft legs or malnutrition. If it is raised indoors, UVA spotlights can be installed, which can replace the function of the sun very well. Although the benefits of the sun are more, but the breeder can not give them a long time in the sun, the time of the sun can be controlled within 30-60 minutes a day.
? Razor turtles need to be heated, because they are tropical turtles, and their favorite water temperature is between 25-28 degrees Celsius. In our country, except for summer, it is difficult to reach such a high temperature in other seasons, so it is necessary to use heating equipment to raise razor turtles. But in winter, breeders do not need to raise the temperature to such a high level, because razor turtles need to hibernate, so breeders only need to control the water temperature between 10-15 degrees Celsius. If you don't want them to hibernate, you can keep the water temperature above 22 degrees Celsius.
