Brazilian tortoises can actually be raised. Many people think that they can't be raised because they carry Salmonella in their bodies, which is harmful to human health. Especially in young Brazilian tortoises, there are many Salmonella in their bodies. Pregnant women, young children and the elderly are not recommended to touch and raise, because these people have poor resistance and are prone to Salmonella infection. Especially pregnant women, if they are accidentally infected, they may cause dangerous situations such as abortion.

In addition to the bacteria carried by the body, they are also fierce in character. If children or other people accidentally annoy them, they may be injured. Therefore, many people say that Brazilian tortoises cannot be raised. In this case, it is only necessary to avoid physical contact when raising.

The turtles that are better to raise are Chinese grass turtles, Chinese flower turtles, Brazilian turtles, yellow-headed side-necked turtles, map turtles, brocade turtles, etc. These turtles have low requirements for the environment and strong adaptability, so they are very easy to raise. In particular, grass turtles and flower turtles are native turtles in China, which can adapt to most of the environment in China. Although Brazilian tortoises carry salmonella, breeders can avoid salmonella infection by taking care not to touch other parts of their hands or washing their hands after touching them.
