Generally speaking, the yellow-margined box turtle is not a kind of turtle that is easy to raise. It is a kind of semi-aquatic turtle, which has high requirements for the environment in the process of breeding. It needs relatively high humidity, if the humidity is not enough, it will seriously affect its health.
It also has a high requirement for water quality, and it needs to change water once or twice a week. Their digestive system is special, and special attention should be paid to feeding. In order for it to enter sexual maturity normally, it must enter a state of hibernation, at which time it needs more careful care. In addition, it has certain requirements for light. Therefore, it is not recommended for novices to start with yellow-margined box turtles.
If you want to raise the yellow-margined box turtle high-back, you must first give it a suitable environment. The ratio of land to water is about 2 to 3, and the ambient humidity should be maintained at 70-80%. In order to ensure water quality, water needs to be changed 1-2 times a week. It is enough to change one third or one quarter of the water every time, and it is not necessary to change it all. In addition, reasonable feeding is also needed. It is suggested that fish and shrimp should be its staple food, because live bait can provide more calcium. I usually take it to bask in the sun. It's better to bask in the sun every afternoon for about half an hour each time. This is also conducive to its high back.
