In Tieba, the headlines searched for a lot of master's works, very good, build a yellow edge turtle tank environment by yourself, it is also very interesting, after all, the tossing process is also the fun of raising turtles. Of course, all my materials need to be purchased, not obtained by wild mining. But I will also mention later that if there are conditions for wild harvesting, the cost will be lower.
First of all, a picture of the whole, I will put the whole diy process out, welcome everyone can refer to the discussion, see what else can be improved.
1. Overall renderings
2. Environmental carrier and composition
Environmental carriers
Due to the indoor and limited space, can only use the turtle tank, the turtle tank can use the glass jar, you can also use the planting box, the former is suitable for the ornamental view, but the cost is higher; the planting box is cheap and convenient to expand, but the lack of ornamentality, on a platform to search for this planting box environment, there is a very beautiful with glass, it imitates this, but considering that there are children at home, the glass is not very safe, replaced by acrylic board, the effect is the same, this is very satisfied.

Choice of soil species
As a kind of national turtle, the yellow edge is a semi-tortoise, compared to the water turtle needs a stable water environment, the breeding environment of the yellow edge turtle is relatively easy to control. The main thing is to control the ambient humidity, and the choice of soil is particularly important. Therefore, with reference to Tangser's intensive environment introduction, use volcanic stone, diatomaceous earth, red loess soil, and build a soil structure that can well regulate the environmental humidity (this is only a kind of) attempt, you can also directly choose laterite. Many turtle friends are laterite plus water moss, in fact, water moss is mainly for moisturizing.
Of course, you can also directly collect some humus in the wild, but this tends to carry a lot of small bugs and weeds, although it may be more like the wild environment, but on the one hand, it is not delicate enough, and more importantly, it is not conducive to the health of the turtle, after all, the yellow edges cultivated by the player are artificial breeding seedlings.
Selection of plants
First of all, it should be clear that the plants in the environment of the yellow-edged turtle are for the turtle, not that everything is planted in order to look good, so that the environment is beautiful, but the turtle is not necessarily adaptable. It is not to feel useful, after all, the indoor environment is very fragile, so it is still necessary to follow the following principles
Poisonous plants cannot be planted
Flowering and fruiting species cannot be planted
Snake berries and turtles also like to eat this, but the fruit that cannot be eaten is easy to rot when it falls into the soil. After all, we are a closed small environment, and the ecology is very fragile.
It cannot be planted with a special odor
Peppermint can repel mosquitoes, but turtles are also sensitive to this smell.

Commonly used plants such as ferns, woody words such as duck's foot wood, Luo Han pine, bamboo cypress
The plant selection is good, and there is an important point, that is, the location of the arrangement. There are many turtle friends to react, Huang Wei nickname bulldozer, the main reason is because the weather is too hot when the turtle needs a cool place, at this time if the basin is in direct sunlight, the soil surface is very dry, there is no place to go but to drill the soil. Therefore, when arranging, you need to consider the shade of the tree, but also consider the sunbathing point, and ensure that the plant spacing allows the turtle to enter and exit freely.
3. Preparation of materials and cost statistics
80*40 planting box ¥60
Volcanic stone, diatomaceous earth, peat soil, fine loess ¥50
6 acrylic plates ¥60
Plant ¥40
Water pan and other ¥15
The above platforms can be searched.
In fact, the soil and plants can be harvested in the wild, and the environment built is closer to the wild environment, and everyone can play at will. Acrylic plates are also non-essential, just for good looks. Of course, if there is a place in the house, you can make it bigger.
4. Setup steps
Volcanic rock floor
Diatomaceous earth is laid in one layer
Peat soil & fine loess soil & shape
Plant plants
5. Precautions
Spray some water on each layer of mixed soil to ensure that the soil layer is moist
Plants need to wash away as much soil as possible
Acrylic plates need to be fixed, and handmade glue rods can be used
The whole set is still a bit heavy, it is recommended to get a shelf with rollers
