? The captive pig-nosed turtle is not a protected animal, but the wild one is a protected animal. Basically, what we can see in daily life belongs to artificial breeding, and there is no wild one, nor is it allowed to sell. Wild pig-nosed turtles live in a harsh environment and live in a very remote area, so few people can see them. Before
breeding, it is necessary to identify whether it is wild or not. The way to distinguish them is very simple. Look at their size. Generally, the size of wild animals is much larger than that of captive animals. When you encounter a large and heavy body, it is better not to raise it artificially. Large pig-nosed turtles are likely to be wild pig-nosed turtles, which belong to protected animals, and it is illegal to raise wild individuals artificially.
in captivity? Pig-nosed turtles can be raised in captivity. Raising this kind of turtle requires the breeder to have certain experience and technology. If a novice raises this kind of turtle, it is easy to cause their death. It is very difficult to breed in captivity, and their growth will be very slow when they are young. Although this kind of turtle is a freshwater turtle, it is very different from other freshwater turtles. Except for the process of laying eggs, they almost live in water. They have relatively high requirements for the external temperature, which needs to be kept stable between 27.7 and 32 degrees Celsius. Therefore, although this kind of turtle can be raised artificially, it is not easy to raise.
