Whether the alligator turtle's carapace looks good or not has a great impact on their ornamental value. Whether their back armor is good-looking or not is first affected by genes, so when buying, we should pay more attention to choosing turtles with complete back armor, healthy and good-looking appearance. In the absence of genetic problems, their carapace is affected by the way they are farmed. Specifically, there are the following points need to pay attention to:
1, deep-water farming: using deep water to breed alligator turtles is more appropriate, so that their carapace can look good, but not too deep. Before breeding, a container with enough height should be prepared.
2. More sunshine: In the process of breeding at ordinary times, it is necessary to let the snapping turtles bask more in the sun, which can promote the absorption of calcium, so that their carapaces will develop better.
3. Ensure water quality: Water quality also has a greater impact on their carapace. If you want to make their back armor more beautiful, you need to ensure that the water is clean, but try not to have too many trace elements in the water.
4. Environment layout: In addition, you can pay more attention to the environment layout. Some sand and stones can be placed in the container to set up a fountain of running water, which can make the back armor more beautiful.
The crocodile turtle flat back may be caused by its own genes, may also be acquired. If there is a genetic problem, there is basically no way to avoid this situation when breeding, but do not worry too much, this situation will only affect their ornamental effect, will not endanger their lives. If they have no genetic problems, they need to pay attention to the water level when they are bred, and if the water level is too low, it will easily lead to their collapse. You can make the water level a little higher, so that they can stand up to the height of the hind legs straight, but not too high.
