The cake turtle

The cake turtle is a type of tortoise, also known as the stone seam turtle. Tortoise, pancake tortoise, Latin name Pancake Tortoise, he is most talked about for his flat body and beautiful carapace. The pancake turtle is native to East Africa in southern Kenya, northern Kenya and eastern Tanzania. Because it was imported, it has also been found in Zimbabwe and has also been found in Zambia.

Wild pancake turtles often live in rock crevices at an altitude of 1,800 meters. The average temperature in these places is 24~30°C, and there are usually one male and one female. A group of turtles, but up to ten turtles have also been seen living in a rock crevice. Data collected by the researchers indicate that male turtles may migrate from one rock crevice to another, while females often stay in one place.

Man-raised tortoises eat many of the same items as they do in the wilderness, and they should be provided with grass and alfalfa to reduce the volume of food. and fiber. They will also eat lettuce, pumpkin, carrots, broccoli, beans, cabbage, some melons, and occasionally other fruits. Although vitamins can be fed in small doses, if the variety of food can be maintained, there is no need to add special vitamins. Even if they are rarely used, have a bowl of water available.

The artificially raised cake turtles will mate all year round. But as with other tortoises, snakes and lizards, providing an annual photoperiod—where the length of daylight varies depending on the time of year—will improve growth success. If there are two or more male turtles housed together, they will fight for the female turtle, and the female turtle will often turn a blind eye to the male turtle unless the male turtle actively chases them or circles around them.
