1. Normal peeling 1. Reason: Peeling of snapping turtle may be a normal phenomenon in the process of growth and development, which generally occurs in the golden stage of growth and development of snapping turtle. They normally peel off once a year, and the skin will turn white or yellow after each peeling.
2. Solution: The normal peeling of crocodile turtles does not need treatment, but at this time, their demand for food nutrition will increase. Breeders can feed more small fish, shrimps and other foods to ensure their adequate nutrition and speed up their peeling. In addition, it is necessary to change more water, because the skin they peel off is easy to pollute the water quality, and the metabolism of small crocodile turtles is relatively high when peeling off, and the water quality pollution is also serious. Breeders can change the water once every two days, and half of them can be changed every time.
2. Skin rot1. Reason: The peeling of crocodile turtle may also be caused by skin rot, and the main cause of this disease is poor water quality or bacterial infection. After suffering from skin rot, the symptoms in the early stage are peeling and decay, and when the later stage is serious, it will stink.
2. Solution: After confirming that they suffer from skin rot, the breeder needs to fish out the crocodile turtles from the container first, then disinfect the container with potassium permanganate solution, and finally put them in with new water. If the rotten skin is serious, the breeder needs to take a medicated bath with saline or potassium permanganate solution, or smear the affected part with penicillin ointment.
