The true alligator turtle can be raised artificially, and the difficulty of their breeding is relatively low. It is a species of turtle that is relatively easy to raise. True snapping turtles have better adaptability to the environment. For example, water temperature, they can tolerate very low temperatures, sometimes a few degrees below zero will not cause them to die, and their tolerance to high temperatures is relatively good. Moreover, their resistance to disease is also good, usually not easy to get sick. On the whole, their breeding is not very difficult.
1, container: before raising the true crocodile turtle, you need to prepare a suitable container. Because the size of the crocodile turtle is relatively large, so the container size requirements are relatively high, need to prepare a larger container, otherwise it will hinder their growth and development. Moreover, because of their large size, it is not recommended to mix them, otherwise there will be insufficient space.
2. Feeding: Although true snapping turtles are omnivorous, they prefer to eat meat, so they can eat meat as staple food, such as beef, mutton, fish and shrimp. In addition, we need to feed some vegetables and fruits properly, such as lettuce, bananas and so on. For true alligator turtles, feed once every 1-3 days.
3. Water level: The water level also needs to be controlled for breeding alligator snapping turtles. The water level can neither be too high nor too low, generally speaking, it is enough to control the height of their back shell. Therefore, the water level can be reasonably regulated according to the change of their body shape. When they are still relatively young, it is best to raise them in shallow water.
4. Water temperature: Water temperature is also an important factor to ensure a suitable water environment. Although the adaptability of snapping turtles to temperature is good, water temperature will affect their growth rate, it is best to regulate it. The most suitable temperature is between 28 and 31 degrees, if possible, try to stay in this range.
