Flame tortoises belong to aquatic tortoises, which belong to the genus Colorado and belong to a subspecies of Brazilian tortoises. They are also called red-bellied turtles, and their scientific name is Florida red-bellied turtles. They are yellow-green in their infancy, and when they are adults, the color of their carapace will become black and red, most of which are red and look like a fire.
2. How to raise flame turtles to grow up1. Container: If you want flame turtles to grow up, you should prepare a larger container for them, so that they have sufficient space for activities and can develop better. If conditions permit, they can build a balcony, so that they can climb to the water at any time. Moreover, frequent sun exposure can kill most bacteria on the carapace and reduce illness.
2. Environment: If breeders want to make flame turtles grow larger, they must ensure that their living environment is comfortable. At ordinary times, the water temperature should be kept between 23-30 ℃, and the water quality should be clean and refreshing. It is best to change the water twice a week, and it is best to change half of it each time.
3. Feeding: The size of flame turtles is also closely related to feeding. Breeders can feed more animal feed in their infancy, so that their size can develop faster. When they reach adulthood, their body shape will develop slowly, so breeders can choose to feed more plant-based feed, increase trace elements and enhance their resistance.
