Northern map turtles

Coote's turtles and slider turtles of the genus Cyrus , red-bellied turtles, yellow-bellied turtles and other species are occasionally also called water turtles. This genus is widely distributed from the northeastern United States to Argentina. It is omnivorous and often inhabits rivers, pools and other freshwater waters. The female is larger than the male, with a nail length of about 15 to 40 cm. Generally, there are yellow stripes on the head and neck. There are longitudinal wrinkles on the carapace that end in a jagged shape; the male has claws on its front feet.

There are about 8 species in the genus Turtle, with many tribes and difficult classification. They are found in the southeastern United States; some species have important economic value. Found in the central and southeastern United States, it has a red spot behind its eyes. Its larvae are sold in large quantities in ornamental animal shops. The northern map turtle is a rare species of water turtle.

Artificially raised map turtles are not as uniform as slider turtles and painted turtles. Even if there are, they are often single individuals, and they are often male turtles (this may be Due to the smaller size of male turtles). Map tortoises can live well under artificial care, but they must be managed according to correct methods. In most cases, their management methods are similar to the requirements for raising slider and painted turtles. Compared with other aquatic turtles, map turtles have poor tolerance to poor water quality. For the health of turtles, water quality must be kept pure.
