Can turtles be kept in deep water?

Yes, there are many ways to raise turtles artificially. Pond culture, tank culture, wooden basin culture and reservoir pond culture have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose according to local conditions. For general professional households and small-scale farms, it is better to build pond culture because of its convenient management and great economic benefits. ?

Construction of breeding ponds: Young turtle ponds and breeding ponds can be constructed according to the specifications and methods of scarab young turtle ponds and breeding ponds. Adult turtle ponds are similar to those of scarabs, but the area can be larger to breed more turtles.

If the adult turtle pond is large, mixed culture of fish and turtles can be carried out, and some herbivorous and filter-feeding fish can be raised in the pond to improve the comprehensive economic benefits of breeding. It should be noted that turtles can also make holes and escape easily, so the wall base of the fence should be about 50 cm underground.

Morphological characteristics: after adulthood, the carapace is oval with smooth surface and almost no edges. However, the larva has an obvious central ridge, like its relative, the tortoise, which has small protrusions and slightly visible sides. The bridge of the bellybutton is very wide and forms an angle at the transition with the bellybutton.

Laryngeal shield is very distinctive, short in longitudinal direction, but almost as wide as other abdominal shields in transverse direction. Larvae are omnivorous, and they are vegetarian in order to meet their huge size in adulthood.
