The three sides of the whitebacks of the Sulawesi tortoise are the widest in the centre and the two sides are thinner. Even though it's flat, there's a black thread along it. The back and back shield is in the form of sawn teeth, especially afterwards. It's narrow and wide, it's black in the heart of the abdomen and it's light yellow on the edge. The abdominal acetal lobes are flattening and the back edge is not deep enough. There's a hole in the anal shield. The front hips are big, the fingers are small, the toe base is short. Male tortoise head white, female tortoise head brown. Sulawesi whitehead care knowledge
Sulawesi is a gentler turtle, but no matter how gentle a turtle goes through a “dark period” at the beginning of its breeding, what should we do now?
I. SLET OF SURAVISE BIRTHING TORTURE
When buying Sulawesi whitehead turtles, it is advisable to spend more time observing and selecting them, otherwise they can easily be bought. Before looking for a salesman to take the turtles out, you might want to spend more time in front of the tank watching their behavior and appearance. If there are other aquatic pet stores around here that sell this turtle species, it is recommended that you visit a few more places, which are also carefully observed and can be asked for.
It would be preferable to look carefully at the inside of the shop, whether it is clean or not, and whether it is as healthy as any of the other turtle species in the store, since healthy turtles can only be found in well-managed shops. When a good-looking turtle is found, the salesman is required to permit the turtle to be put in hand and carefully examined. The parts to be examined include eyes, mouth, nose, back armour, limbs and claws, and tails.
II. New turtle care in Sulawesi
New turtles are in the group and are most vulnerable, so the turtles that have just been brought back, so don't be disturbed again, let them rest in a quiet and dry tank, but only occasionally notice their movements, such as drilling into the ground, or crawling into a pool, or even remaining in a corner for a long time; do not feed them to crickets or vermins for the time being, so that the live baits do not harass them, and at most lay bananas or apples or tomatoes in their stomachs, eat them or eat them, and prepare another plate of water.
A darker place is also to be prepared (so that the huts are necessary) for them to hide. Again, during adaptation, try not to alarm them, for example, by knocking on the walls of a tatter, shouting, etc., and keep an eye on their activities. It is best to record their daily status so as to help the turtles' preferences and eating habits to be managed in the future. Sulawesi whitehead living environment
When replacing water, try not to make the temperature too different, preferably not more than or less than 2 degrees Celsius, if the temperature is too low, leaving the turtle vulnerable to pneumonia. Sulawesi whitehead turtles often feed in the water, so some vitamin supplements can be purchased at reptile pets and added to the water after changing the water so that the turtles can swallow the supplement when eating. In addition, Sulawesi whitehead turtles are excreted in the water, so the feeders are asked to do their best to change the water in order to maintain clean water quality and the health of the turtles. The point of Sulawesi white-headed turtle breeding.
Try not to be bigger than a third of the head of a turtle. Cricket that can't be finished, it's better to take it, because it's easy for turtles to be harassed and it affects rest. Since Sulawesi whitehead turtles are the species that are active in the day, it is preferable to feed them in the daytime, to avoid feeding them as much as possible at night, especially two or three hours before the lights are turned off, and to avoid feeding them because they may be intestinally ill. When giving fruit, try to taste it better, because the Sulawesi whitehead turtles are sensitive and tasted more easily.
