Life: Overview of species of moth turtles at around 50 years of age in Mississippi
The Mississippi musk turtles are often called small egg turtles, and are a relatively common species of egg turtles, which are not expensive or difficult to raise, so they are generally popular as entry-level species. Widely spread in southern Canada, north-east to south-east of the United States. In the United States, they live mainly in the return zone of the Wisconsin River and the Mississippi River, in swamps, ponds and ditches. Mississippi musk turtle morphology.
Mississippi is 7.6-13.7 cm longer than a musk turtle. It is a small, sexually active, angry water turtle, with two light stripes on the head and tentacles for the jaw and throat minister. The backslids are smooth, or there are three lines of ambiguity, which are lengthened and without sawn teeth; and the colour of palm olives is dark to gray, often blurred by the covering of an algae. The larvae's vests are accompanied by ambiguities and patterns, which are irregular stripes or spots and dark colours. The abdomen are small, with eleven shields and a less visible chain joint. At the end of the male tail there is a hard nail in the shape of an horn, and on the inner side of the rear limb there are two small pieces of twilight. The female has a short tail, which forms a sharp tip. Mistletoe nursing knowledge.
Of the musk turtle family, Mississippi musk turtles are undoubtedly the largest in number, and turtle friends call them little stinky eggs, the smallest and best raised turtles that interact well with humans, but their tempers are so bad that they can hardly mix well with other turtles.
I. Can Mississippi musk turtles mix?
As long as conditions permit, it would be preferable not to mix the Mississippi musk turtles or other species of turtles, because this would inevitably harm the turtles ' own quality, after all, the perfect individual. The reptiles must not have any luck thinking that there would be no torn bites and fights between the open breeding space, adequate food supplies, turtles and turtles, otherwise the violent little balls would let you know what the word is “black society fire”.
II. The problem of hibernation of the Mississippi musk turtles
The Mississippi musk turtle of nature is bound to go through a long period of hibernation throughout the year. Their “physical conditions” must also help them survive the winter. But most of the animals we raise are artificially produced individuals, especially young ones. So for turtle seedlings, winter must warm up. Natural hibernation is perfectly feasible for adults or adults, either as a light warming or as a heater, but only if the breeder is able to feed himself or herself from the beginning of August until the beginning of November of the year, helping the little ones store enough nutrition and energy to survive the winter.
Disease prevention and control concerns
1. It is essential to ensure that water is kept relatively clean and that clean water is added to the larvae daily to remove some dirty water, which can add a little less iodized salt. No direct use of running water for breeding, and fresh running water is prone to decomposition and rotten claws. The turtle eats and disposes of the rest of the dirt.
2. In winter, it is not customary to take warmer-fed turtles out of the water for viewing or playing with them, and cold and hot are extremely prone to cold and respiratory diseases (this is mainly for juvenile turtles).
3. Turtles do not feed in groups and are overbred, and friction collisions with crust easily cause wear of turtles, which in turn triggers manicure.
4. Turtles experience decomposition, rotten claws, white eye disease, which allows for the use of turtle fluids, and there is an aquatic treasure from the U.S., which feels better when used.
5. In the event of aqueous disease, in addition to keeping water quality clean and using drugs in the water, there is also increased light or a moderate heating of water temperature using heaters, which can also serve as fungicide treatment. The living environment of the muck turtles in Mississippi.
It is believed that each of the turtle ponds will be very different, but their purpose will remain the same, for example, with regard to the setting of essential items, the setting of ambient temperatures and the control of water quality.

I. EQUIPMENT OF THE FAMILY
In order to raise the larvae of the Mississippi musk turtle, it is proposed to use a small, smooth inner wall, flat bottom and smooth inner wall glass, without the need for mattresses to be laid to facilitate cleaning. In the case of adult or submersible individuals, a larger rectangular rounded glass tank is recommended. Up there is the need to have a UVB light, which can be equipped with mats, etc., and can be equipped with driftwood for turtle climbing, play, sunken or home-made tablets for turtle rest and back, but can not be set because of the Mississippi musk. The fragrance turtles are mostly underwater and are less land-bound and filtered. The water level in the rearing tank is twice as high as the height of the musk turtle's back armor.
II. Description of breeding temperature
House temperature ranges from 15 to 18 degrees, with Mississippi less active than the musk turtle and less likely to eat. Between 19 and 33 degrees, turtles can eat normally. It should be noted that 22-30 degrees are the best feeding and operating temperatures for black eggs and that turtles grow faster. If the temperature drops to about 15 degrees (or even slightly lower), it gradually reaches hibernation.
III. Water management for breeding
The use of overnight and tanned piped water as a daily rearing water so that turtles are free from bleaching and from diseases such as skin decay and white eye disease. Friends with electrolytic devices in their homes can normally feed with weak alkaline water, as such water is not conducive to the survival and reproduction of bacteria and has a protective effect on turtles. Furthermore, if turtles are to be fed with neutral water once they become ill (basic water can affect the efficacy of the drug), the use of drugs in water can only achieve good healing. In addition, deep well water is suitable for turtles. What's the point?
The Mississippi musk turtle is a typical greasy turtle, and the larvae tends to be carnival, and in the course of the hunt it can be seen whether the personality is more aggressive, so the master does not try to use his hand to tempt the turtle to avoid being bitten by the turtle, and can trap the food with chopsticks if he wants to be more interactive.
In nature, Mississippi musk turtles are impregnable turtles, and in body they are essentially highly carnivorous, mainly feeding animal proteins, and even decomposition. As a domestic pet, the source of food, in addition to safe sanitation, is the need for easy access. In the case of artificial feeding, good-quality turtle food, fresh fish shrimp cut off from the shell, frozen red and red insects added to vitamin E, calcium, artificial forage cricket, skinned bread worms and big wheat larvae, etc., are relatively easier to digest. For larvae, it is more appropriate to feed red worms. Because the insects are soft and easily fed by turtles, over-stretching foods is highly damaging to the young tortoise fingernails, most of which grow from deformed nails, and fish shrimps are cut to feed their shells in order to protect them.
