Ai's water turtle, belonging to the family Turtle, is a typical reptile species, and people also name it Guangxi water turtle, false red whip turtle, etc., which are mainly distributed in Fujian Province, Guizhou Province and other places, are one of the unique turtle species in my country. This species has now been listed as a protected animal in my country ranks. Ai's terrapin, yellow-throated terrapin and Guangxi terrapin belong to the same type, and it is not easy to distinguish them. If you really want to distinguish the three, you should mainly start from their body color, limbs, markings and back!

     The back of the female terrapin is longer than that of the male turtle. Generally speaking, the back of the terrapin is attached with three ridges, which are especially obvious and coordinately connected with the abdomen. In addition, the throat of the small turtle is well-developed, slightly protruding, and slightly convex in the middle. You must know that the Eichthys terrapin and the yellow-throated terrapin are very similar. However, if you look closely, you will find that the abdomen of this turtle is slightly more yellow than yellow. The throat of the terrapin is wide, and the abdomen of the latter is very smooth, flat, and dark brown, while the former has a large black spot. Moreover, the abdominal edge of the former is slightly rounded and blunt, while the latter is convex.

       The terrapin live in the mountains with relatively flat terrain all year round In streams and small ponds with slow water flow, and occasionally they will stop by small rivers, swamps or streams, and they reproduce by oviparity. In general, Ai's water turtle has a mild personality, weak aggression, and average adaptability. If this turtle is artificially raised, then parents should pay more attention to its feeding matters. It is more sensitive to the temperature of the surrounding environment. Being on alert almost all the time, it's best not to let it startle!

       1. Diet Traits       You must know that the terrapin is a typical terrapin, they usually like to find food in the water, but sometimes in the mountains, mountain streams and Traces of it can also be found in rivers. In short, this turtle's food is complex, mainly including insects and other larvae. Some parents also give it some carnivorous food, such as small fish, shrimp, and conch. , corn, barley, rice, fruits, vegetables and other foods, in order to ensure the balance of its food, it is recommended that parents supplement it with this nutrition every one or two weeks, such as calcium powder or something, so as to strengthen the Ehrlich terrapin resistance!

       2. Breeding environment        At present, most parents keep Ehrlich tortoises together with other turtle species However, before raising it, it should be provided with a particularly spacious site. The site should be selected in a sunny, ventilated, convenient water and air quality place, that is, a pond. Its shape should be rectangular, and it should be The land and the water are divided, and at the same time, the corresponding water intake and drainage systems are set up. After the design is completed, parents should preferably place some fine sand and large rocks in the pond for the Ehrlich to climb and sunbathe. It should be noted that a fence must be set up at the water outlet to prevent the turtles from taking the opportunity to slip away!
