The origin of the Brazilian turtle is in the Americas, and now it is widely distributed around the world. The Grande tortoise is a variant of the Brazilian tortoise. Although they are similar in appearance and habits, there are some differences:
1. Color difference: The difference in color between the Grande painted turtle and the Brazilian turtle is very significant. The color of the Grande painted turtle is very bright, while the color of the Brazilian turtle is a little darker. If placed in a group of Brazilian tortoises, it is easy to distinguish one from the other by color. Specifically, the color of the head, back shell and other parts of the Brazilian turtle is generally green or dark green, but the color of the Grad painted turtle may be yellow.
2. Price difference: As a variant species, the price of the Grand Turtle is very high. It is a relatively precious species, and it is not easy to meet in the market. Brazilian turtles are more common, and the price is relatively low.
3. Pattern difference: The patterns of the two are also quite different. The pattern of the Grand Turtle is very complex, which is also the reason why they get their name. The pattern of the Brazilian tortoise is simpler and looks more ordinary, and its ornamental value is not as good as that of the Grande tortoise.
The Grande painted turtle and the Brazilian turtle are relatively consistent in terms of body size and habits, so it is possible to raise them together. They are not very fierce, and generally there will be no conflict. When mixed breeding, pay attention to providing adequate space and food, generally there is no problem.
