I think everyone already knows. Recently, for some varieties of egg turtles , it has been proposed to upgrade to Appendix II protected species. This is also a hot and chewy topic for everyone after the opening of and tortoise . Everyone expressed their thoughts one after another, and some turtle friends were worried that even and of snapping turtles would be promoted to Appendix 2. Wouldn't that mean they would no longer be able to play with them? Although it is an exaggeration, there is no need to worry so much.
I don’t know if you have noticed it, but there are no flames or painted turtles this time, which is quite surprising. Maybe you will say, , Brazil, are all over the street, how can we improve protection. This is only for what we see, and it is also artificially raised in China. After all, we do not have this species in our territory, so it can only be artificially raised. But even if there are many, it does not mean that their living environment in the wild is good, and there are many families and genera of Brazilian faces, so it is normal to upgrade one or two protection levels. Maps have long been included in the proposal.
Since there is no such thing, it seems that the painted turtle, flame turtle are still very "safe". Everyone is familiar with the flame turtle. As a type of small turtle, the painted turtle is also favored by many turtle friends. The editor can only say that I have raised painted turtles before, and I don’t have a deep understanding. I just communicate with everyone.
Most painted turtles are shaped like flying saucers, and naturally have bright colors on their bodies. They roam freely in the water. Maybe you wave your hand, and they will greet you with splashes of water. The lively and carefree personality coupled with the gorgeous body color still makes many turtle lovers obsessed with painted turtles.
The most common ones on the market are East, West Brocade and Nan Brocade. I personally am not lucky enough to see the so-called Zhong Brocade.
The native environment of painted turtles is ponds and swamps with large water bodies and gentle flows. They mainly forage in the water and like to bask in their backs. This may also be a common preference for Brazilian faces.
So no matter how you arrange the environment, a natural balcony is definitely indispensable. The water quality of painted turtles is also very good. Except for the relatively small newly hatched seedlings, it is recommended to raise them in a deeper water environment to unleash their swimming talents. Not only is it good for viewing, it will also increase the amount of exercise for the turtle.
Painted turtles are similar to most other turtles. The optimal temperature is 25-30°C. Food intake is significantly reduced below 18°C. It enters hibernation below 15°C and enters deep hibernation below 10°C. Moreover, painted turtles are generally relatively cold-tolerant, so normal hibernation in winter is not a problem. Of course, environments that are dozens of degrees below zero are not a problem. It doesn't matter if the time is short, but if it lasts for several months, the painted turtle probably won't be able to bear it.
Food feeding should basically be based on the principle of "eight percent full". It is still the same as before. The reference feeding amount is about the size of the head.
is just for painted turtles. Firstly, everyone thinks that painted turtles are more delicate and not as easy to care for as other Brazilian-faced turtles. Secondly, there is the issue of the hair color of painted turtles. Color is one of the highlights of painted turtles. If you don’t treat them well, If you show off your talents, it will be a disgrace to the name of the turtle.
Let’s first talk about the survival of painted turtles. Although the painted turtle hatchlings have the best frost resistance among all turtle hatchlings, it is an indisputable fact that compared to most other turtle hatchlings, the painted turtle hatchlings are indeed weaker. So it is not that easy to raise and needs careful care. On the whole, painted turtles are not difficult to raise, and this is only relative.
Is the hair color a problem? In fact, the beauty of the painted turtle comes from its own color. If you can keep it healthy, its color won't be too bad. Of course, I personally prefer to use a white feeding environment, and just feed them normally. The growth process of healthy painted turtles will undergo different transformations.
Some people say that painted turtles are a high-end version of Brazil. Not only are their colors more colorful, they will not fade as they grow. And they are smaller in size without losing their Brazilian character. It is a protected species now and will not be so for some time in the future. It is cheap, beautiful, small, and safe. I wonder if it will become mainstream in the future.
