Yellow-edged closed-shell turtles are not tortoises, they are only semi-water turtles leaning towards land. When they live in the wild, they mainly live in wet bushes, grass and other places. They can find food on land and water, but they move slowly, so they can catch less food. Because the webbed between their toes is small and their swimming ability is poor, breeders should pay attention to the fact that the water level should not be too deep.

The yellow-edged turtle is not a tortoise, but a semi-water turtle biased towards land, which can move in water and survive on land. Wild yellow-edged closed-shell turtles live in wet bushes or grass. They can find food on land and water, but they move slowly, so they can catch less food. In addition, because the webbed between their toes is relatively small and their limbs are relatively flat, their swimming ability is poor, so they need to live in shallow water when breeding. Generally, the water level of adult yellow-edged closed-shell turtles is consistent with the height of their carapace. If the feeding water body is large, the water level can be lower than the height of their carapace.

2. How should yellow-edged closed-shell turtles be raised

1. Environment: As mentioned above, yellow-edged closed-shell turtles belong to semi-water turtles on land, and breeders need to prepare an amphibious environment for them when breeding, so that they can move normally.

2. Feeding: If you want the yellow-edged closed-shell turtles to grow well, you should give them enough food. Breeders need to use animal feed with plant feed to ensure their balanced nutrition. If there is no time, turtle food can be used instead of staple food.

3. Sunbathing: Although they are tortoises, they can't bask in the sun for too long. Half an hour of sunbathing every day is enough.
