The turtles (confirmed introduction)

The turtles are China's privately owned painted turtle species is native to Hainan. The appearance of the Philodendron tortoise is somewhat similar to that of the Chinese painted turtle. However, the carapace of the Philodendron tortoise is relatively large, making it a species of giant tortoise, so it is difficult to tell them apart. It's also relatively easy.

Philippine turtles are sensitive to changes in temperature. They are not difficult to raise and grow very quickly. They can usually be fed with small fish, shrimps and some other raw materials. For fruits and green leafy vegetables, since each individual has a different harvesting level, the normal feeding time should be paid more attention to and timely arrangements should be made. The food intake should be maintained gradually and in a good order. Overfeeding can easily accelerate the contamination of water quality. It is also easy to cause indigestion.
