Pet turtles
The Chinese tortoise is what we commonly call the black turtle. It has a very wide distribution in our country and is the largest in number. In our country, the black turtle is a symbol of health and longevity. As the saying goes, "A scoundrel one year ago will be a turtle for ten thousand years." This foot can prove the black turtle's ability to live long. Chinese tortoise not only has a very broad market in China, but also has a heavy weight in the international market. In Japan, the Philippines and Thailand and Western countries, it is regarded as a "safety, longevity" thing.
The body of the tortoise is oblong, with a slightly raised carapace and three longitudinal ridges, and the ridges are obvious. The top of the turtle's head appears dark olive, and some are also cyan. The front part has smooth skin, and the back part has fine scales. The neck, hands, feet and exposed skin are gray-black or black olive. The female tortoise's plastron is flat, while the male's is slightly concave, with a notch at the rear end. Male tortoises are smaller in size, have longer tails, and are smelly. When sexually mature, the carapace and plastron are painted black, and the olive green lines on the skin disappear and turn black. The female cockroach has a light brown to dark brown back, a brown-black belly carapace, a short tail, and no peculiar smell.
Chinese tortoises are highly adaptable to the environment, have relatively low requirements for water quality conditions, and have greater tolerance for poor water quality. When cultured at high density, there is no mutual killing and a low disease rate. Turtles are omnivores. In nature, animal feeds mainly include worms, small fish, shrimps, snails, clams, clams, earthworms, animal carcasses and offal, hot pig blood, etc.; plant feeds mainly include plant stems. Leaves, melon peel, wheat bran, etc. Especially wild turtles that have been around for many years have a very high edible and medicinal value because they absorb a substance called ASTA from small fish, shrimps, etc. through the food chain.
