The Brazilian snake-necked turtle is very easy to raise, and is more suitable for novices to raise. But when raising them, we should pay attention to that they prefer to survive in slightly acidic water. Therefore, tea leaves can be added to the water to adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the water.
1. Temperature: The temperature of raising the Brazilian snake-necked turtle needs to be controlled between 22 and 24 degrees. This is the most suitable temperature for their growth. At this temperature, they are most active and have a good appetite.
2. Food: The Brazilian snake-necked turtle is a carnivorous turtle. When raising them, they need to feed some fish, shrimp, insects and various mollusks. You can also feed some feed with calcium.
3. Water quality: The Brazilian snake-necked turtle needs to control the pH value of the water at around 6.5. They prefer to survive in a weak acid environment. When breeding, we should pay attention to ensuring the clean and healthy water. A small amount of tea can be added to the water to reduce the PH value. Moss can also be used to reduce the PH value.
4. Light: Brazilian snake-necked turtles like to move in the sun. Enough light can make their shells stronger and their bodies healthier. Therefore, when raising them, we need to ensure that they have enough time to bask in the sun. If it is cloudy or rainy, UVB spotlights can be used to provide light.
