Money turtles (certain introduction)
Money turtles are divided into many types, and different money turtles are different both in nature and Perhaps there is a big difference in price, so we are likely to spend a high price to buy a money turtle with poor quality. Therefore, we need to learn how to choose a high-quality money turtle, so as not to worry about it when purchasing. Being fooled because you don’t understand it can cause serious damage.
1. Type guide
There are three types of golden turtles: Vietnamese, Hainan, and Guangdong. The Vietnamese golden turtle has the highest price, and the Hainan golden turtle has the highest price. Secondly, the gold turtles grown in Guangdong have the lowest price. Therefore, you must look for the species when purchasing to avoid confusion. How to identify gold turtle species:
There are three types of gold turtles: Vietnamese, Hainan, and Guangdong. Here are the identification methods: As follows:
1. Look at the body weight: Under the same development conditions, the body weight of the Vietnamese gold turtle is the largest, followed by the Hainan gold turtle, and the body weight of the Guangdong gold turtle ranks last .
2. Look at the head: The head of the Vietnamese species of turtle is basically gray (the top of the head is lavender, the front end is grey-green, and the rear end is golden yellow), so it is also called "grey head"; Hainan species The head of the turtle is golden yellow, so it is also called "yellow head"; the head of the gold turtle species in Guangdong is light yellow.
3. Look at the shell color: The carapace of the Vietnamese gold turtle is brownish red, the carapace of the Hainan gold turtle is golden yellow, and the carapace of the Guangdong gold turtle is light yellow.
2. Specific Guide
According to different characteristics, money turtles are divided into three categories: artificial, artificial and commercial. The reinvitation function of artificial and artificial money turtles is to make The species grows, its breeding efficiency is high, and its price is high. The important functions of commercial gold turtles are to make soups, cook dishes, eat, and be used medicinally. Their breeding efficiency and price are much lower than those of wild and imitation wild gold turtles. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish the essence, and do not buy commercial cash turtles as breeding turtles. Relevant knowledge:
According to different development methods, cash turtles are divided into three categories: wild, imitation wild, and commercial:

1. Wild gold turtle
It is a gold turtle that grew up completely in the wilderness environment. Wild gold turtles grow up in the wilderness and have difficulty finding food. They only grow 2-4 pounds (100-200 grams) per year and weigh up to 2 pounds (1000 grams) in 8 years. They mature slowly and live for hundreds of years. , the laying period is equivalent to 60% of its life spanRow. About 10% of wild gold turtles in the same year start laying eggs in the 10th year, 30-60% start laying eggs in the 11th year, and 40% start laying eggs in the 12th year. Wild gold turtles lay eggs 1-2 times a year, often laying 2-4 eggs.
2. Imitation of wild turtles
From the time the hatchlings emerge from their shells, the whole process is not heated and cultivated, and the food intake of wild turtles is simulated, so that they grow slowly and slowly. Slow experienced money turtle. The simulated wild gold turtle grows 3-5 pounds (150-250 grams) per year, weighs 2 pounds (1000 grams) in about 6 years, and has a lifespan of hundreds of years. The egg-laying period is equivalent to about 60% of the life span. About 10% of wild gold turtles of the same year start laying eggs in the 8th year, 30-60% start laying eggs in the 9th year, and 40% start laying eggs in the 10th year. Imitation wild gold turtles lay eggs 1-2 times a year, often laying 2-4 eggs.
3. Commercial turtles
They are turtles that are raised using heating methods and turtles that are raised without heating but grow faster as they eat. Commercial turtles grow up to 62-1kg (300-500g) every year, and their body weight reaches 2kg (1000g) in about 4 years. Eat more, grow faster, their original growth sequence and psychological system are completely disrupted, reproductive function is disordered, reproductive organs are artificially accelerated (like premature babies), eggs can be laid in about 6 years, orthogonal contractions Egg laying period and life span, even if turtle eggs are produced, the fertilization rate is relatively low, and the hatched turtle seedlings are weak and sickly, making it difficult to raise. Commercial gold turtles are not suitable for breeding and are only suitable for soup, cooking, food, and medicinal purposes. Their prices are lower than those of wild and imitation wild gold turtles.
3. Appearance guide
The inspection price of gold turtles mainly reflects the desirability of its appearance (i.e. body shape, color and other appearance details). The inspection price and sales price of gold turtles with good appearance are higher than those of gold turtles with poor appearance.
