Maple leaf turtles (definite introduction)
Maple leaf turtles have many names, maple leaf, ground turtle, Leather turtle, twelve-sided turtle, black-breasted leaf turtle... They are all named by turtle lovers based on the special appearance of maple leaf turtle, which is very impressive. Here are some ways to raise maple leaf turtles.
The pattern of maple leaves is very funny. The protruding eyes are often round and round, and the beak like an eagle's beak makes it look particularly humorous. It's very flat, with no curvature at the base, and there are twelve jagged edges on the edges. I don't know if every turtle has twelve, and I haven't really counted them carefully, but there are times when people call them "twelve-sided turtles." "The plastron is black, so it is also called "Black-breasted Leaf Turtle". It can be seen that the name was given to capture its unique characteristics.
This kind of turtle is very small, only 12cm in size as an adult. It is semi-aquatic and cannot enter deep water. Its toes are not webbed and it is easy to drown. When installing the environment, it is best to use moist sand as a dry substrate and place a larger water basin, but the water should not be deep, 2 to 3 centimeters is enough. Because maple leaves live in Guangxi, Hunan and other places, they have certain requirements for humidity and are not very suitable for raising in Shuofang. If you want to raise them, this problem must not be ignored.
In terms of food, we should pay attention to the changing varieties. Maple leaves are also omnivorous. When feeding, we use mealworms, earthworms, and crickets, supplemented by fruits and vegetables, but Each individual variety is different, so you need to pay attention to observation when raising it and make changes in real time. Maple leaf turtles often appear on the stalls of some vendors, so many of the ones purchased are human companions who have never interacted with reptiles, so the sacrifice rate is very high. In the image of reptile friends, maple leaf turtles are indeed a difficult species to raise. One is that the environmental requirements are relatively high, and the other is that the food needs to change frequently. Maybe you will say, "The maple leaves I raise will be very strong, and I think they are easy to raise." In fact, this is normal. Like gambling, for more than healthy individuals, it is easy to start eating and easy to maintain. If the initial condition is not good, then the hope of maintenance is very small. Occasionally, they will die suddenly and inexplicably, especially after waking up from hibernation. .
, it is prohibited to catch, if you do not harm this species and do not raise it, you might as well make a little contribution to our animal protection. If the market shrinks, there will naturally be fewer cases of capture. However, the good news is that artificially developed individuals have also appeared in recent years. If you have the opportunity, you might as well try to breed them.
