1. Can snake-necked turtles be raised Wild snake-necked turtles cannot be raised personally because they have been included in the Red List of Endangered Species of the World Conservation Union and belong to international protected animals. If it is raised by individuals, it is illegal.
Artificially bred snake-necked turtles and domestic snake-necked turtles can be raised, because they are not protected animals, so they can be raised by individuals. However, even if you raise artificially bred snake-necked turtles, you have to go to the relevant departments to handle the breeding license before you can raise them.
2. How to raise snake-necked turtles1. Container: Snake-necked turtles are large in size, and their body length is 30-40 cm in adulthood. Breeders need to prepare a larger container for them to ensure that they have enough room for movement.
2. Feeding: Snake-necked turtles are omnivorous animals, but prefer animal feed. Breeders can feed more small fish, shrimps, insects, waxy insects, etc. to ensure their adequate nutrition. You can also feed some plant feeds or synthetic feeds regularly to ensure their balanced nutrition.
3. Water quality: Snake-necked turtles like weak acidic water quality, and breeders can keep the PH value at about 6.5. In the process of farming at ordinary times, it is necessary to change water regularly, and clean up the garbage in the container in time to keep the water quality clean.
4. Sunbathing: Breeders can also build a balcony in the container, so that they can climb to the water regularly to bask in the sun. More sun exposure can kill bacteria on the carapace and promote the development of the carapace.
