Scientific name: Kinoster rnidae, mainly divided into kinoster subfamily and musk turtle subfamily; mainly inhabit light cement The swampy area will be in the quagmire. Originally mainly distributed in the Americas, it can now be found all over the world. There has always been controversy over the classification of the genus Musculospora. Some scholars believe that the muskrat-backed musk turtle, the flat-backed musk-breasted turtle, the small musk deer and the musk-breasted turtle can be independently classified into one genus, but due to their morphology The difference is too obvious, so in the end, it is not classified according to this. Turtles are known as: egg turtles, mud turtles, and are relatively common in the pet market.

     The kinetochore is relatively small, but has a large head and a conical snout, which is very conspicuous. The plastron has fewer scutellum (less than 12), the front half of the plastron is movable, the rear half is immobile, and the shell mouth can be completely closed. The turtle's tail is very short, and there are obvious scales on the outside of the limbs, which can resist the role of natural enemies. There are dorsal ribs on the carapace, the dorsal ribs are relatively convex, the central part is the highest, and the sides are lower. The edge of the carapace is black and yellow-brown, and the carapace is mainly yellow-brown.

       The turtle likes to live in slow flowing rivers, swamps, quagmire Among them, the areas with a large number of aquatic plants are the best habitats. Therefore, when artificially rearing, you can appropriately place some aquatic plants, rockeries and the like in the rearing box. The work and rest time of turtles is opposite to that of humans. They like to rest during the day and be active at night. Some of the turtles in captivity will be different. The swimming speed of the turtle is not very fast, and the owner can easily catch it, so the editor does not recommend the owner to mix it, otherwise the turtle will be easily injured. The breeding process of kinetochore is longer than that of ordinary pet turtles. The ovulation period takes about 4-5 months, and the best breeding temperature is 25-30 degrees.

       observe         If the turtle is kept as a pet turtle, the owner must always pay attention to the living habits of the turtle, only in this way can it be discovered and dealt with in time in an emergency. The turtle has a relatively strong ability to adapt to the environment and will not get sick because of the soil and water. As long as the owner takes good care of it, the turtle has a very long lifespan.

       Fish ponds are the best breeding stock. In the rearing body, the owner can place some aquatic plants, rockeries, platforms and other things, which the turtles will like very much.
