The difference between white-lipped turtle and red-faced turtle is very simple, just look at the bottom plate. Usually, white-lipped turtle without pattern is red-faced turtle with pattern. It should be noted that they are similar only when they are young, and they can be obviously different when they grow up. Just like their names, the mouth of the white-lipped turtle is white and the head is black and yellow, while the head of the red-faced turtle is red, which is easy to distinguish.

2. How to raise red-faced turtles

1. Container: When breeding red-faced egg turtles, the problem of breeding environment should be solved first. The container should be large enough, and the layout of the container should be a combination of aquatic environment and terrestrial environment. Aquatic environment can be divided into deep water area and shallow water area. In terrestrial environment, sand and bark can be used as cushion materials. In sunny places, a balcony can be placed, and some green vegetation can be planted around the balcony.

2. Feeding: Red-faced egg turtles are omnivorous animals, and they have a strong tendency to eat meat. Their main foods are mollusks, tadpoles, fish and shrimp, etc. Worms and turtle food are also their favorite foods. Pay attention to disinfection, washing, chopping and feeding. You can also feed some plant foods such as vegetables, fruits and so on. You can take turns feeding a variety of foods once a day.

3. Water level: When breeding red-faced egg turtles, attention should also be paid to the water level. When red-faced egg turtles reach adulthood, they can control the water level below 5 times the height of their back shells. However, when they are young turtles, their water quality will be relatively poor, so they need to be raised in slightly shallower water.
