Breeding
Given the aquatic nature of this species, the atmosphere devout adapted for this turtle a composed terracquario for 75 80% from remaining water and 20 25% constituted from unarea emerged heated from one light spot.
The profondit of the water he would not have to exceed i 5 6 cm for the small and as they grow to increase of the level until to 20 30 cm, but an Aquarius could itself be prepared also much high with one profondit of the water of 60 cm.
The qualit of the fundamental water like for all the species aquatic, for which we will have to install an adequate filtering coadiuvato from frequent partial water changes.
The water must be termoriscaldata to a temperature of 25, while the emerged area must have a heated point to 32.
The lighting system must be guaranteed from a specific lamp for resisted them with emission of beams UVA-B for the synthesis of the D3 vitamin in order to guarantee cos one correct increase of the carapace, but it would be better to be able to guarantee one sure quantit of sun giornalmente.
The substrate of the bathtub would have to be melmoso for giving to the turtle way to hide, but problematic obvious dates that it involves, advises the pebble use large of river, in way to avoid stone ingestions small from part of the animals.
For the furnishings of the terracquario we can use of the aquatic plants, but remembering that continuously they will be eaten of our turtles.
These turtles very adapt themselves to an external lodging in a small lake, but it would be opportune to carry the animals to the warmth in the winter months in order to avoid to make them to go in letargo.
Feeding in breeding
As we have seen this turtle onnivora, for this to the small we can offer to a percentage of 50% of alimony vegetables and 50% animals, but gradually we will pass to one percentage of 90% vegetables and 10% animals.
The alimony that we can give is varies to you, like animals: small fish (acqardelle, latterini), girini, lombrichi, snails, but we remember that in the diet of the adults, they must be occasional foods.
As vegetables we can use vegetables greens like lattuga, rucola, cicoria, tooth of lion but also spinaci, carrots, zucchine. As aquatic plants we can use the lenticchia of water, the giacinto of water.
Occasionally we can offer to fruit of the type apples, pears, melone, grape.
In their diet we can insert also foods in pellet of good qualit with one high percentage of soccer (to es. Reptomin).
good norm to always leave a small cuttlefish bone that floats in the Aquarius in order to always guarantee one quantit of soccer in their feeding.
WARNINGS
Recently had a great spread in the European markets of this race above all after that the trachemys scripta elegans entered in the list of the Cites, but often breeders without scrupoli they have sold animals with serious problems of you adorned internal or respiratory pathologies to you, for which before acquiring to see them the behavior of the turtles well, That they are are not lethargic that they are not to opened mouth, that they swim on one side not tilted and that they do not have zones of carapace soft.
