1. Container: When raising the snake neck turtle, the first thing to consider is the size of the container. The size of the snake neck turtle is still relatively large, most species are 30-40 cm, some species can reach 50 cm in length. Especially when breeding more than two, we must buy a larger container.
2. Feeding: The snake neck turtle is a carnivorous animal. They like to eat animal feed. Therefore, in the process of feeding, they should choose their favorite food, such as small fish, mollusks, insects, worms and so on. In addition, when they are relatively small, they can be fed every day, and then they can be fed once every two days or so. The amount of food should be adjusted according to their size.
3. Water quality: Whether the water quality is clean or not also has an impact on the growth of the snake neck turtle. In order to ensure the quality of water, it is necessary to change the water regularly, not after the water is very dirty. You can use the tap water that has been dried. The best PH value of water is about 6.5, that is, acidic water. If it is not suitable, moss can be placed in the water, which can adjust the PH value of the water.
4. Sunning: It is helpful for the health of snake-necked turtles to bask in the sun every day, because ultraviolet rays can eliminate some germs and parasites on their bodies, so as not to cause them to get sick. A basking table can be placed in the water so that they can easily climb up while basking in the sun.
In the process of breeding the snake neck turtle, we need to pay attention to the water temperature. In normal times, the water temperature can be adjusted to 22-24 degrees. If the water temperature is relatively low, it can be adjusted appropriately. Winter is a special season, when the snake neck turtle may hibernate. If the water temperature is always high, they will not be able to enter the state of hibernation. At this time, the water temperature can be reduced to 15 degrees below, they can be dormant, but try not to lower than 5 degrees.
