The pearl turtle is a kind of turtle that is easy to raise. It has strong adaptability to the environment, so the requirements are not particularly strict. Only need to clean more at ordinary times to prevent disease infection. Because pearl turtles prefer to bask in the sun, they also need to bask in the sun at ordinary times. In terms of diet, its requirements are different and too high, generally some living bait can meet its growth needs. And he has a gentle personality. It's just that we need to pay more attention to the temperature difference in peacetime, because the pearl turtle belongs to a poikilothermic animal, so the temperature difference will affect its physiological activities. But overall, it is recommended that novices start with pearl turtles.
1. Environment: The size of the pearl turtle is a little larger, so the environment in which it lives is as large as possible to meet the needs of life. Second, the water level can be a little deeper. The adult turtle is about 20 centimeters, while the juvenile turtle can be about 10 centimeters.
2. Temperature: At the same time, we should pay attention to the change of temperature difference, which should not be too large. As a poikilothermic animal, it is very sensitive to temperature change, and 22 ~ 28 ℃ is the most suitable temperature for its life.
3. Water quality: Ordinary tap water can feed it, but it needs to be exposed to the sun for two days before use, or use a chlorine remover to remove the chlorine substances inside. And to change water regularly, keep the water clean, each time about one third or one quarter of the water, the frequency is not too high, generally once or twice a year.
4. Bait: It is best to feed living bait. Generally, fish and shrimp are the best choice, and they can also obtain a large amount of nutrients.
