Central Painted Turtle
Because of its petite size and the need for artificial captivity Due to their abilities, painted turtles are often kept as pets. They have interesting characteristics and do some humorous actions from time to time, which is very cute.
Painted Turtle (name: Chrysemys picta) is the most widely dispersed North American water turtle, and only they range from southern Canada to northern Mexico, from the United States to Creations were made from the northwest to the southeast, and their dispersion encompassed all of the North American landmass.
The carapace of the central painted turtle is smooth, completely flat and oval. The carapace is dark green, and some are black. There are red horizontal patterns on the head, neck, hands and feet.
The male and female of the Central Painted Turtle are similar to those of the Brazilian Tortoise. The male turtle has long and powerful front claws and a thick and long tail. The female turtle is slightly larger in body length, with relatively shorter front claws and a shorter and thinner tail.
Central painted turtles have a very diverse diet. In their resting areas, all kinds of animals and plants, whether alive or dead, will become their meals. This includes: snails, slugs, insects, crayfish, tadpoles, small fish, carrion, algae and aquatic plants. Young painted turtles are carnivorous, but as they age, young painted turtles tend to eat herbivores.
Central painted turtles are more suitable for artificial breeding. They have strong ability to adapt to new breeding environments, have a wide range of food habits, are heat-resistant, and can interact with people through domestication. It adds a lot of fun to our daily lives.
Finally, I want to remind everyone that wild painted turtles like to bask on their backs, so when they are raised in captivity, a terrace must be built and protected to bask in the turtles every day. sun.
