1. What does the crocodile turtle look like The crocodile turtle is close to the primitive turtle. Its mouth, shield and tongue are strange, its head and neck are protruding, and its carapace is also strange. If it floats on the water, only its carapace leaks out, which looks like a crocodile. Their heads are triangular, and their limbs are thick, so they can't be completely retracted into their shells. Crocodile turtle's mouth is large. After opening it wide, the mouth can crack behind the eyes, and the eyes are small. The color of adult crocodile tortoise carapace is brown or brown, and most of them are mainly brown. Different from crocodile tortoise, crocodile tortoise has three rows of spines on its carapace, which looks hard. Although the mouth of the crocodile turtle is very thin, it is very hard, like a steel whip.
2. How to raise crocodile turtles1. Space: Crocodile turtles do not require high environment, but they require high space, because their body length can reach 40-70 cm in adulthood, so breeders need to prepare a larger container for them when breeding.
2. Food: Although crocodile turtles are omnivorous animals, they prefer animal feed. Usually, they can be fed more lean meat, animal viscera, small fish, shrimp, red worms and other foods, and then matched with some vegetables and fruits such as cucumbers, lettuce, apples and bananas to ensure balanced nutrition.
3. Environment: Crocodile turtles are temperature-varying animals, which can survive at a water temperature between 0-43 ℃, but the most suitable water temperature for them to live is 28-31 ℃. If the temperature is too low, it will affect their growth and development. There are a lot of excrement in crocodile turtles, so breeders need to clean it regularly to ensure clean water quality.
