The striped-faced tortoise, also known as the Pied's giraffe, is the chief of the snake-necked tortoise family Neck turtle. The worm patterns on their heads are very obvious and look particularly gorgeous. They are distributed in the southern part of New Guinea, including Papua New Guinea and Indonesia's Anian Java. The maximum nail length is 26.7 cm. It is a group of B-group turtles of the genus Giraffe. Its main characteristic is the creamy white markings on the head. The markings will become thinner as they grow and become less visible in mature individuals. Inhabits the shoals of rivers rich in large hubos and aquatic plants. It is carnivorous and feeds exclusively on fish under artificial rearing. It has a strong tendency to live in water and does not climb on land except to lay eggs. The special place is that they lay their eggs in water. The striped-necked turtle is a relatively rare species of the long-necked turtle.

        A species with the most gorgeous body color, with a maximum nail length of 26.7 cm. The general shape is the same as other long-necked turtles, and the head is milky white markings as its main feature. The markings will become thinner as they grow and become less visible in mature individuals. The unique black and white maze pattern in the long-necked turtle on the head is its biggest feature. The carapace is dark brown, dark brown or light gray with irregular black or dark brown spots, and the edge is creamy yellow. The bridge and plastron are both. Creamy yellow or creamy white without pattern, limbs, tail and neck are dark gray.

       The striped long-necked turtle is a good swimmer, and the suitable water temperature is 26- 28 degrees, if you start raising from larvae, it is best not to let them hibernate, and they should be raised in winter. Giraffes are absolute carnivores, especially like live food, which can be fed when feeding, small river fish, small river shrimp, loach and so on. You can also try to feed some lean meat, or water turtle feed, which can ensure a variety of food. A healthy long-necked turtle should keep growing in weight, have bulging and bright eyes, have a good appetite, and have solid excrement, which can directly indicate whether they are healthy or not. A healthy turtle should have no excess goo on the eyes and nose, nor should the tongue be white.

       The temperature of feeding the tortoise is the most annoying place , because the appropriate temperature for raising them should be 18-25 degrees, but in summer, the water temperature tends to rise sharply to 30 degrees or above. If the water temperature is too hot, their carapace will easily suffer from the disease of carapace rot. It is because the carapace of the long-necked turtle is relatively weak against fungi, and the water temperature is relatively hot. At the same time, fungi in the water also grow rapidly, which is also detrimental to the carapace of the giraffe, so it is necessary to lower the water temperature in the breeding box. The eating habits of giraffes are carnivorous. Generally, we can feed crickets, earthworms, snails, forage fish, loach and other foods when artificially reared. You can properly feed some high-quality turtle food, because it contains the calcium needed by turtles, but it should not be used as a staple food. Cuttlefish bones, which are commonly used by tortoises to supplement calcium, can also be fed to giraffes. In short, except for animal-based live food, others are fed as auxiliary food.

       dig holes on the shore to lay eggs in early summer, about 12 eggs per spawn. The eggs are elongated and the shell is brittle. Feeds on a variety of aquatic animals such as mollusks, crustaceans, tadpoles and small fish. Active during the day, docile, people like domestication. It is very easy to raise. It is a highly aquatic turtle. Except for laying eggs and going ashore, it does not appear on land at all. So simply put, it can be raised as tropical fish. They are very good swimmers in water, so the tank The water level can be set very high, you don't have to worry about them drowning, but you can place sinking wood, because they like to hide in hidden places when they are resting, so that they will feel safe.

        The purchased turtles must be isolated and observed for a period of time before being mixed with other turtles. If your box turtle is underweight or otherwise unhealthy, you should contact your veterinarian right away. Unhealthy turtles should be kept indoors, raising the temperature to 29 degrees. Humidity also increases accordingly. Do not let sick turtles hibernate. In addition, abscesses are common in giraffes, often on the sides of the head, near the ears. In this case, the abscess should be cut open to remove the lesions inside. Betaine and antibiotics are then applied to the wound.
