Brazilian turtles

We can probably see that the appearance of pet turtles of the same species are similar, so they are not very distinguishable. , so it doesn’t matter which one you buy. However, we must understand that different black turtles have different personalities and habits, so they should be cautious when choosing. So let’s talk about how to buy Brazilian turtles.

1. Carefully examine the turtle you want to buy! Does it show any natural evasive behavior (as long as the basin allows it to escape)? When a person approaches the basin, does it try to dive and escape? Turtles that have difficulty swimming or diving, turtles with obstructed nostrils, or eyes that are swollen or unable to open are all approaching the end of their lifespan, so you must not buy it.

2. Most of the healthy tortoise shells are uninjured, which means that the shells are uniform in shape and have no missing joints. If the tortoise shell feels "soft" when touched, it means rickets. Although this shortcoming can be rectified to the limit, it will wear an uneven carapace for life.

3. Ask the person selling the turtles to feed them some feed. Which one or a few turtles you pay attention to will start eating in the past, which can also judge their health. It is best to be cautious about turtles that stop eating feed, because they are either sick or have not adapted to the new feed.

4. If you still like the turtle you are looking for, you should also consider that these cute little guys will not be little guys forever, and they will need more space in the future. If the conditions are better, they will grow very fast, and under your management, the length of the carapace will grow to twenty-five or thirty centimeters! Due to calcium and vitamin deficiency, "weak shell syndrome" can be caused by pressing the carapace with your fingers to form a small pit. It's equal to "rickets".
