Moreover, the turtle has a long lifespan, so it is a good choice for those who admire pet turtles. If you choose to raise this kind of pet turtle, then the next question is how to raise a strong star-spotted turtle. We will introduce the precautions for raising star-spotted turtles.
Water quality: Artificial growth generally can adapt well to weakly alkaline water quality. As long as the water quality is safe in family breeding, there is no need to worry about it getting rotten.
Temperature: Native to North America, it has certain cold resistance and has the habit of hibernation. Suitable for ambient temperature of 19-28°C. When the temperature is lower than the suitable temperature, they will eat less and move slowly. In winter, you can use a heater to raise them, and add a thermometer to check the water temperature in the raising environment. This will help the animals grow healthily.
Food: It is omnivorous and partial to carnivorous. It is artificially raised to provide rich food varieties, and individual talents are strong and beautiful. Artificial breeding can provide a variety of food, including river fish, river shrimp, snails, suckling rats (a small amount), silkworms, earthworms, crickets, cornworms, small non-toxic frogs, freshwater crustaceans, fruits and vegetables, artificial turtles, Box Turtle Feed.
Light: All kinds of water turtles need UVB ultraviolet rays, and different species require different levels of ultraviolet rays. Star-spotted turtles sometimes engage in sunbathing activities and can be exposed to direct sunlight. If there are no conditions, it is also a good choice to provide auxiliary lamps with a UVB content of 5%. The UVB lamp illumination time is 4-8 hours. , there is no need to shine it every day.
Capturing environment: Although it is classified in the genus Aquatic Turtle, the environment it needs to rest is more likely to be an Anbu turtle, a golden-headed turtle or some kind of box turtle. Therefore, the water level of the breeding environment should be shallow, and a mainland or resting platform needs to be built. According to the percentage, the breeding ratio should be 70% of the water area and 30% of the mainland.
The spotted turtle is an omnivorous scavenger that can eat both in water and on land. The plants they eat include aquatic plants, green filamentous algae, larvae of aquatic insects, small crustaceans, snails, tadpoles, salamanders and fish.
