Yellow-headed side-necked turtle (definite introduction)
Many For the sake of fun, children will ask their parents to buy a small black turtle. However, they lack experience and patience, so when choosing to buy turtles for children, you must pay attention. Not all species called turtles are the same. Suitable for children.
First of all, you need to understand that turtles can be divided into three types: aquatic turtles, semi-aquatic turtles and land turtles according to the environment. Water turtles include pig-nosed turtles, yellow-headed side-necked turtles (certain introduction), matta turtles, snapping turtles, etc.; semi-aquatic turtles include Mississippi red-eared turtles (Brazilian turtles), Malaysian snail turtles, donut turtles, Yellow-eared turtles, etc.; tortoises include Burmese tortoise, leopard tortoise, yellow-margined tortoise, Sulcata tortoise, etc.
No matter which one it is, the following points should be paid attention to when raising children who lack body odor:
1 . Highly aggressive animals should not be raised: everyone can understand this principle, so I won’t say more.
2. Too small to raise: Many people try to buy Brazilian tortoise hatchlings for 5 yuan at a low price. As for how long they can live after buying them back, as parents, they don’t care. . The philistines are also responsible for this, they will sell it if they are paid.
3. Wild ones are not suitable to be kept: Anyuan in the current pet store, tortoises with a plastron of more than 10cm, and a large number of cheap Brazilian tortoises are almost all wild. .
4. Children have poor patience: More than 90% of the cases are taken care of by parents during their busy schedule, so this should also be taken into consideration.
After weighing the pros and cons, I recommend two types of turtles for parents’ reference: the yellow-headed side-neck turtle (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and the Hermann’s tortoise.
Their food is all vegetable leaves. The tanks for yellow-headed side-necked turtles and Luohan fish are usually empty tanks filled with water. They do not need guidance or a terrace, unlike Mata turtles require weakly acidic circulating water, unlike pig-nosed turtles, which require higher water depth. It can be mixed with goldfish. As for Hermann, the representative species of European tortoises, the Hermann with a 10cm plastron only costs 550 yuan, which is not as expensive as Anyuan or Sulcata.It can grow to more than 80cm, and unlike the Indian star tortoise, which likes to die suddenly, it is very suitable for humans who have no body odor.
