1. There are several species of flame tortoise There is only one species of flame tortoise, which is also called red-bellied tortoise, and its scientific name is Florida red-bellied tortoise, which is a subspecies of Brazilian tortoise. Although they are subspecies of Brazilian tortoises, their body color is brighter than that of Brazilian tortoises, and they are more ornamental.
2. How to raise flame turtles1. Container: Flame turtles have high activity and are larger in size after adulthood, so breeders need to prepare a larger container for them in advance to ensure that they can develop better. If conditions permit, a balcony can be built in the container, so that they can climb up and bask in the sun anytime and anywhere. The flame turtle can't bask in the sun for too long, just bask in it for 2-3 hours every day.
2. Environment: Flame tortoise does not require very high water temperature, and breeders can keep the water temperature between 23-30 ℃ at ordinary times. However, they are sensitive to environmental changes in their infancy, and breeders need to keep the water temperature at about 25 ℃. Flame tortoises like clean and refreshing water quality. Breeders should change the water twice a week. Every time they can't change all the water, it's best to change half of it. To raise flame turtles, it is best not to use tap water just received, but to dry it for a few days before using it.
3. Feeding: Flame tortoises are omnivorous animals. They like to eat some animal feed when they are young. Breeders can feed more small fish, shrimps, snails, snails, loaches, tadpoles and other foods, especially shrimps, which can promote their hair color. When they are adults, their feeding habits will be vegetarian, and breeders can feed more vegetables and fruits.
