In the process of purchasing a black turtle, we have to pay attention to many issues, such as the type of black turtle and the health of the black turtle. So how can we choose a black turtle that is good in all aspects?
First of all, we need to check its health. First, check whether the mouth and nostrils of the black turtle are filled with very thick mucus or foamy secretions. If there is abnormal mucus and foamy substances infiltrated, you may feel pneumonia or respiratory disease. Secondly, check whether the turtle meat is very plump. If the black turtle shrinks very far inside the shell, the turtle may be too thin. A healthy turtle should feel like its shell is filled with water. If it looks like it's on an empty stomach, don't buy it. Don't think it's cute for a black turtle to come to the water and start breathing. Don't buy a turtle that's breathing because it may have respiratory diseases.
When choosing turtle species, the considerations for water turtles and tortoises are somewhat separate.
When it comes to choosing tortoises, some first-time owners think that the smaller the turtles, the cuter they are. Although they are cute, they are more difficult to raise. One is that it has not eaten for a long time and the shell is not hard; the other is that its resistance is poor, and its environmental support requirements and sacrifice rate are higher than those of sub-adults. Therefore, when purchasing, try to choose a tortoise with a carapace of 7cm and a body weight of more than 20g. If you are purchasing grown individuals, it is more appropriate to choose around 500 grams.
Some tortoises are physically fragile and not suitable for beginners, such as table tennis stars, lotus leaf folding backs, etc. As for Burmese tortoises, yellow-legged tortoises, four-toed tortoises, CB individual red-legged tortoises, European tortoises, Hermann's tortoises, Sulcata giant tortoises, etc., they can all be regarded as strong and hard-working tortoise species.
Smaller entry-level species include Hermann’s tortoise, four-toed tortoise, etc.;
Larger entry-level species include Burmese tortoise, edged tortoise, Greek tortoise, etc. Tortoises (Continental), etc.;
Entry-level species with particularly large bodies include sulcata, yellow-footed tortoise, red-footed tortoise, brown-booted tortoise, etc. However, as a beginner, it is generally recommended not to raise large tortoises. Take action.
Land Turtles
If you choose to buy a water turtle, the most important thing is to check whether it has any external injuries. Or corrupted; in other aspects, some are very similar to tortoises; and weather issues are a key part, and attention must be paid to whether the tortoise species that are purchased are in line with the original soil conditions.
Secondly, the turtle's four claws must be strong in expansion and contraction, and there must be no obvious scars on the body surface. This method may be used to place several turtles in deep water. The turtle that sinks to the bottom and swims around in the water represents the turtle. becomeThe survival rate is higher.
Characteristics are also something we need to pay attention to when choosing black turtles. Some are shy, some are more aggressive, some are more active, and some are safer. This also depends on your preferences. Certainly.
