The Sutatari tortoises are protected animals. Not only Su Qatari tortoises are protected animals, but all tortoises are at least national second-class protected animals in China. Because China has signed the Washington Convention, even some species that are not available in China are also protected, and it is illegal to raise them by individuals. Besides tortoises, some water turtles and semi-water turtles can't be raised.

1. Protected animals: The main reason why tortoises can't be raised is that they are all protected animals, most of which are national second-class protected animals, and a few are national first-class protected animals. It is illegal to raise protected animals in China, so it is not recommended to try their best to raise turtles.

2. It is difficult to apply for a permit: It is not that protected animals cannot be raised, and many protected animals are also raised artificially, but the premise is that they can apply for a permit. Tortoises need to go to the forestry department to apply for relevant certificates. Of course, it is impossible to have certificates alone. Large-scale breeding requires breeding places and other conditions to meet the standards before certificates can be obtained.

3. Lack of artificial breeding: In fact, tortoises cannot be raised mainly because of the lack of artificially bred tortoises in China. For example, although Chinese grass tortoises are also national second-class protected animals, there are many artificially bred offspring, so it is no problem to buy the second generation, but the lack of artificial breeding and the lack of quantity are the main reasons why they cannot be raised.
