The small flower drill tortoise is a protected animal. This turtle is native to America and belongs to aquatic turtles, which can live in salty waters. It has a lively temperament, likes activities, has the habit of going ashore to bask in its back, and has certain cold resistance. In the wild, we mainly eat shellfish, fish, shrimp and snails, and occasionally eat plants. Because of its delicious taste, it is often hunted, leading to almost extinction, so it is also a protected species.

1. Tortoises: In China, all tortoises are protected animals, so individuals cannot raise them unless they have relevant breeding certificates. Although tortoises can't be raised, some semi-water tortoises can be raised out of water, so they feel similar to tortoises, but there are some differences in appearance.

2. Turtles: There are not many kinds of turtles, and they are all protected animals, so they cannot be raised. And usually turtles are very big, and the big ones can even grow to about 2 meters, so such turtles are naturally not suitable for breeding. Moreover, turtles need seawater as their growing environment, and artificial seawater is also a nuisance.

3. Water turtles: There are many kinds of water turtles, which are also common pet turtles, but some water turtles are also protected animals. For example, the common Chinese grass turtle is a national second-class protected animal, but there are many artificially bred varieties. As long as you choose the right merchants to buy it, the problem is not big, but you can't raise wild ones.
