Brazilian turtle may be the first familiar invasive alien species, and it is also one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species in the world. However, in fact, normal families usually raise one turtle alone and breed it in closed places, and there is no problem of destroying the environment; and the many advantages of Brazilian turtle make it the most suitable breed for novice turtle raising. Let’s introduce the advantages and disadvantages of Brazilian turtles in detail:
Advantages 1: Cheap
Brazilian turtles were first introduced to my country as edible turtles in the 1990s. Later, merchants gradually discovered its potential as a pet, and in the past decade, it has occupied almost half of the pet turtle breeding. Therefore, its price is quite affordable. Ten years ago, the Brazilian turtle with a big palm was only sold for 15 yuan, but now it has dropped to less than 10 yuan. The price of seedlings that have just emerged has dropped to more than one yuan that I can't understand and there is free shipping. Even a large turtle weighing several pounds is only 100 yuan, and the same common Chinese tortoise is sold twice as much as it is. Such a low price makes the Brazilian turtle a choice for many novice players, and it has become the first pet for students and friends.

It is simple and hygienic. In addition, feeding feed by Brazilian turtles almost requires opening training. The seedlings that have only emerged from the shell will have an appetite for feed. Being a busy student and office worker is a great blessing. The picture below shows the Brazilian turtle I feed to prey on the field snails.

Advantage 3: Strong vitality
Strong vitality, which is what people often call easy to feed. Brazilian turtles are easy to keep in their skin, can adapt to the narrow living environment and dirty water quality, and are very hungry tolerant, spending the dormant period of winter in the fish tank without changing water or feeding. Moreover, Brazilian turtles are not prone to illness, and it is easy to treat and recover from trauma or other diseases.
Disadvantage 1: Large appetite
Some people may think that they grow fast with a large appetite. Why is it a disadvantage? Little do you know that the problem of large amount of food is that you need to clean the turtle tank frequently. In the hot summer, Brazilian turtles grow vigorously and eat and defecate almost every day. Whenever they are hungry, they will swim around and stir up muddy water. Especially if the food is too large, it will tear the food, and food debris will also fill the turtle tank. In summer, you have to change the water almost every day, otherwise you will have to endure the stench of the turtle tank.
Disadvantage 2: At the beginning of
said that there is no problem of damaging the environment in family breeding, why do you now say that this is his shortcomings? Because the lifespan of turtles is long, it is easy to have problems such as not wanting to raise them for many years, or they have no place to install them when they grow up. At this time, many people will choose to release animals. Releasing Brazilian turtles will have an impact on the environment. A Brazilian turtle can eat all the ornamental fish in the pond in the community in a year. But I stumbled upon a perfect solution, which is the temple's release pond. There are temples in every place, and almost every temple has a release pond. The release pond is generally closed and cannot escape and tourists who come every day will feed them. The Brazilian turtle will no longer prey on other creatures with food that is within reach.
