If it is a wild yellow-edged closed-shell turtle, it cannot be raised by individuals. Because the wild yellow-edged closed-shell turtles are the second-class protected animals in China, they have been listed in the List of Terrestrial Wild Animals Protected by the State or with Important Economic and Scientific Research Value issued by the State Forestry Administration of China. China's Wildlife Protection Law clearly stipulates that individuals cannot hunt, kill, buy, sell and raise wild animals, so wild yellow-edged closed-shell turtles cannot be raised by individuals. If they are found to be wild, they need to be handed over to relevant departments immediately.
But now there are many artificially bred yellow-edged closed-shell turtles, which can be bred as long as the breeder applies for a breeding license. Although there is a breeding license, it can't be sold or donated, and can only be raised by individuals.
2. How to raise yellow-edged closed-shell turtlesIf you want to raise yellow-edged closed-shell turtles, you should prepare an amphibious environment for them, and the best land area is larger, so that they can have enough space for activities. In addition, we should prepare enough food for them, and it is best to use animal feed with plant feed, so as to ensure adequate nutrition. They like the water temperature between 22-26 ℃, so it is best for breeders to keep the water temperature constant. They like clean water, and breeders need to change water regularly to ensure clean water quality.
