1. Normal phenomenon 1. Reason: The shell of Brazilian tortoise may be growing when it is warped, because they shed their shell every year during their growth and development. Slightly tilted turtle shell means that it is about to shed its shell, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, and breeders don't need to worry too much.
2. Solution: Breeders only need to keep the surrounding environment stable and increase the frequency of water change at ordinary times. Because their molting may seriously pollute the water quality, it is best to change the water once every two days. If conditions permit, they can be fed more high-nutrition foods.
2. Rotter disease1. Reason: The tortoise shell is warped and may suffer from rot disease. The main cause of this disease is poor water quality or traumatic infection.
2. Solution: Breeders need to fish them out for dry cultivation, then apply chlortetracycline ointment to the rotten armor, and finally feed some anti-inflammatory drugs to quickly solve the problem of rotten armor.
3. The water level is too low1. The reason is that the shell of Brazilian tortoise is raised at too low water level, and shallow water is not conducive to the development of their carapace. Moreover, if the carapace is in a dry state for a long time, it will be deformed.
2. Solution: Breeders need to adjust the height of water level according to their size. If they are underage Brazilian tortoises, the water level is 1-2 cm higher than the carapace. If it is an adult Brazilian tortoise, the water level can be between 1 and 2 times the height of the carapace.
