How do Buddha crocodile turtles cultivate big heads and thorns

The size of the tortoise's head is affected by many factors, among which the larger one is the acquired exercise. If breeders want to cultivate big heads, they should feed more snails, shellfish and other foods, and they can also feed some foods bigger than their heads, so that they can exercise their head muscles and make their heads bigger. In addition, congenital genes are the most influential factors. If congenital genes are not strong, it is difficult to cultivate big heads in the later stage.

1. How do Buddha snapping turtles cultivate big heads

If Buddha snapping turtles want to cultivate big heads, breeders should keep exercising for them. The more common method is to feed more hard-shell foods such as snails, shellfish and crayfish. Because these foods are hard, they need strong bite force to bite these foods, which can increase their bite force and exercise their head muscles. In addition, the breeder can also feed them some relatively large food, preferably larger than their heads, so that they can also exercise the muscles of their heads during the biting process.

Besides, the genes of snapping turtles also account for a large part. If they don't have the genes of big heads, it is difficult to cultivate big heads only by exercising the day after tomorrow. If they are born with the gene of big head, they can have big head with a little exercise.

2. How to raise the head thorns of the snapping turtle

If the breeder wants to make the snapping turtle grow more head thorns, he can feed more yellow crayfish, preferably every two days, and feed some loaches, small fish and shrimps at other times. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that they grow in a comfortable environment. The height of water level can be controlled at 1.5 times of the height of carapace. If conditions permit, they can be raised alone in bare tanks, so that they have enough space to move.
