Turtle

Turtles can be roughly divided into three growth environments, greenhouse, outer pond, and wild. The following is an introduction to the differences between the three growth environments and the small differences in the appearance of tortoises.

1. Greenhouse tortoise

Man-made feed for greenhouse use ( Turtle feed) raised tortoises. Because the feed contains substances that promote the growth of the turtle, the turtle grows very fast, and there is insufficient sunlight. Because the surface is pale, the carapace feels lack of texture, and the skin is also white. (If it is albino, the eyes will be red and the shell will be very yellow.) In addition, it does not lie dormant, so there will be no growth lines (only radioactive false growth lines).

Two, tortoises in the outer pond

After one year of artificial breeding , put it in the outer pond to simulate the environment and raise it for 3 to 4 years. Because of the sunshine, the head may be green, but because of the lack of food and rapid growth, the color of the skin and shell is obviously not as good. The thickness of the shell is also not as good as the others. Although it has been dormant and there are obvious growth lines on the shell, it is wider than that of the shell and not thin and dense enough. The plastron is relatively smooth. If there is gold thread, it will appear thicker and the complexion will be lighter, often yellow with a little white. (There may also be rust on the shell)

3. Wild tortoise

Turtle: A turtle that has been born in the wilderness and has just been caught from the wilderness (except for those that were abandoned by others). The head is originally green or tea-green, and the nails look very sharp, thick, and black. . The skin color is darker and the shell color is brighter. There are very obvious thin and dense growth lines on the shell (naturally, due to wear and tear, the growth lines cannot be seen). The shell is also relatively rich. The plastron appears rough due to regular wear and tear, and occasionally there are growth lines similar to those on the carapace. The central rib on the back is thicker and arched. If there is gold thread, it will generally appear thin, dark in color, and golden. (The shell is often covered with black rust), and the turtle is relatively fragile at the same time, which is harmful to the turtle.smell of urine.
