Money turtle (certain introduction)
I believe everyone is familiar with the money turtle. The characteristics of this kind of turtle The price is as high as its name suggests. Therefore, many people felt that this was a feasible way to develop, and they began to develop money turtles. So why are money turtles so expensive? What are the factors that affect the price of money turtles? Let’s take a look at them all.
1. The biggest influence on the price of gold turtles is the health of the turtles
The high price of gold turtles is mainly due to the tight supply and demand of seedlings in the breeding market. The price of turtle seeds is naturally high, especially for male turtles. Few people buy unhealthy turtles, and they are generally traded based on the price of edible turtles. A few walking mopping turtles (sub-strong) but clear-eyed turtles cost 1/2-1/3 of ordinary turtles. Here are several ways to check the health of turtles: 1. Place the turtle on the ground. Turtles that crawl quickly and can support their bodies with their hands and feet are considered healthy. On the contrary, turtles that walk slowly and have floor-scraping floors are generally considered unhealthy. Probably a sub-robust turtle. 2. Place the turtle on the ground and touch its head with your hands. Its head, hands and feet will quickly retract into the carapace. If you pull its hands and feet, it will feel particularly powerful. If you place it upside down, it will quickly extend its head. Turn it over quickly and vigorously; this is a strong turtle. 3. Look at the eyes, the eyes are bright and full of energy, which can transform the dexterity into a healthy turtle; if the turtle's eyes are deeply sunken and dull, it is a sick turtle.
2. The second factor that plays a greater role in the price of gold turtles is the age of the turtle
The price of parent turtles (breeding turtles) that are mature and stable in production is high, and the price of immature gold turtles is high. The price is relatively low, and the price can be determined by comparing the age of the parent turtle. 3-11 years old is called an adult turtle (unable to breed), 12-15 years old (trial production time), and the best is stable production between 16-25 years old. If you are too old and your genitals have degenerated, the price will be low as a breeding turtle. Stable breeding turtles are more expensive than mass-produced turtles and adult turtles, and adult turtles are traded based on the price of commercial turtles.
3. Body weight has a greater impact on the official value of gold turtles
Currently, many Vietnamese gold turtles are used as the first choice for female turtles. Vietnamese female turtles are generally larger. The general weight is 4-5 kilograms, and each is more than 6 kilograms. Therefore, the weight requirements for male turtles are also high, so the body weight of male gold turtles is between 2.5-3 kilograms, and it is better not to be fat or thin. Overweight tortoises do not like to be bred, so the price is not high; male tortoises that are mature but underweight are also priced at a significant discount. The female turtles of Guangdong and Hainan species require more than 2.5 pounds, and the requirements of Vietnamese species areLooking for more than 4 pounds.
4. Wild turtles are the first choice
There are three main types of turtles: wild turtles, farmed turtles (bred by farmers imitating wild breeding), and pet turtles. Usually wild turtles have stronger resistance and adaptability, because wild turtles are often first-hand turtles, not farmed turtles, and the price of health-related guarantees is slightly higher than artificial breeding. The specific price is based on age (wild golden turtles generally increase by 50 grams per year). Male turtles weighing 1,000 grams and female turtles weighing 1,100 grams or more are priced according to breeder turtles. Because they are professionally bred, the artificially bred gold turtles have better appearance, well-balanced nutrition, and higher prices. Most pet turtle farmers do not understand the living habits of gold turtles. Food feeding is simple and nutritionally deficient. Breeding exclusively in mainland or aquatic environments will cause body shape deformation or inconsistent appearance, and the price is the lowest.
5. Different species, the Vietnamese species is the most popular
The Guangdong species has a greenish-yellow head color and darker carapace color. The price is lower and the growth rate is slow. It is the most popular species. Excluding the species, the price is the lowest; the Hainan species has golden head color, bright luster, faster growth rate, and higher price; the Vietnamese species has a red carapace, the highest price, fast growth rate, and high spawning and hatching rate, and is the most popular among farmers Like, it is the best species among gold turtles and has the highest price.
6. High quality requirements
Male turtles require a long body, thick tail, concave bottom plate, thick and long legs and feet, and sharp toes; female turtles require a slightly flatter carapace. The body is slightly thicker, but not high-backed. If the quality is good, the price will be high, and vice versa. If the tail is broken or deformed, it is called an incomplete product, and it is generally traded based on the price of commercial turtles.
7. The price contrast between male and female is large
The demand of male turtles in the market is relatively greater than that of female turtles. The ratio of male to female in a group of gold turtles is 1:2 or 1: 3. Therefore, the price of male turtles is generally 2 to 3 times that of female turtles. There are more female turtles than male turtles, and the price is lower.
