The southern painted turtle is a kind of painted turtle, which can be raised artificially. Generally speaking, the difficulty of raising the tortoise is not too great, and the southern tortoise is also a kind of tortoise that is relatively easy to raise. Their adaptability to the environment is good. Whether they are raised in captivity or live in the wild, their environmental requirements are not particularly high. For example, their cold tolerance is very good, and the inappropriate water temperature will not have a great impact on their growth and development. Moreover, they are not picky eaters, very easy to feed.
However, although they are relatively easy to raise, they also need to be paid attention to in the juvenile stage, when they are relatively more likely to get sick. In order to make them grow faster and healthier, we should take good care of them.
1. Feeding: The southern tortoise is not picky about food, so there are many kinds of food that can be fed to them. When the southern turtles are relatively young, they can be fed mainly meat, so that they will grow faster. After they grow up and become adults, they can be fed mainly vegetarian food.
2. Water temperature: You can keep the water temperature between 25-30 degrees, which is the most suitable range for their growth. They have better cold tolerance, so a slightly lower water temperature will not have much impact.
3. Water quality: Water quality also needs to be guaranteed in the process of breeding. A filter can be placed in their living space to purify the environment. In addition, changing water is also an important task. Change it once a week, and use the tap water that has been dried.
4. Water level: The water level of the southern turtles is relatively good, so they can be raised in deep water. However, in the juvenile stage, the water should not be too deep to avoid accidents.
