The breeding environment of foreigners has always been the envy of domestic players, taking the United States as an example, if it is not in big cities such as New York, land is still relatively cheap. If you live in a villa (house), there is also a backyard in the back, and the space is definitely enough for you to dig a pool for landscaping.
Some crazy foreigners, in order to raise reptiles conveniently, deliberately moved from New York to Florida or Texas, after all, the climate there is suitable, there is no long winter. This is the same as fleeing from the north and returning to his hometown to work as a farmer.
I visited a breeder in Florida last winter, Mark. The breeder's website is still very popular in China, and according to him, more than 30 percent of the visits to his website come from China.
Let's take a look at the breeding environment and breeds of foreigners!
Foreigners like to use the water turtle breeding environment, directly using giant plastic barrels, which is quick and efficient to build, and the cost is relatively low. The diameter of the pool can reach more than 2 meters. To avoid infestation by baby raccoons and other wild animals, all outdoor breeding ponds are equipped with wire cages.
Mark nursery environment, he said that this should be the most dense turtle density in the United States. The nursery is made up of shelves filled with rows of plastic drawers that can be stacked. Water can be removed individually from each drawer.
Falklands bighead turtle
This environment looks very comfortable, there are a lot of adult wood carvings, coarse filter estimated to be 50+. The environment mimics the native environment, in which the small pond, the water level is not deep, suitable for semi-aquatic varieties such as wood carving.
Malay fruit turtle
Badaku water turtle
Meteor Ze turtle, one of the four largest water turtles in North America. The pattern is definitely larger than that of the star point cattle, that is, the body size is relatively large, and the maximum length of the dorsal armor can reach 25 cm.
Yellowing crocodiles
This is the breeding environment of chicken turtles, it is almost impossible to find turtles, and it is necessary to simulate the native environment of turtles thoroughly.
A side-necked turtle
Map of the Macula, a mythical object in the map. The body color is quite beautiful, and due to the narrow geographical distribution of the macula map, it is listed as an endangered animal in the United States. It can only be sold in the same state, and interstate trade is prohibited.
A pair of mutant tiger striped grasses, now the mutant strains are also more and more abundant, and this year's exhibition is also full of fire. In Laowai, it is not easy to have a pair of tiger striped grasses, because grass turtles are also listed in Appendix 2 of the International Trade Convention.
Paradox red-eared slider, the name comes from the relative pattern of yellow and black on the dorsal carapace.
The contrast between a pale (hypo) ink egg and a primary color pale body color individual can clearly see the difference in body color from the skin color. Pale color (hypo) is also a body color mutation caused by genetic mutations, and if the gene of this pale egg needs to be continued, it may take several generations to breed.
Melanistic peninsula pseudo-turtle (pennisula cooter), melanized animals and albino animals in terms of body color contrast are two extremes, but both are a heritable genetic mutation.
Mu's water turtle is a god everywhere. The first time I got started, I had only seen it at Zoo Atlanta before. The two of them dug out of the mud to take pictures, and heard him say that Mou's courage was very small, and he especially loved to eat earthworms and some other worms.
Mark's turtle hair color is very good, to sum up
Good environment makes good turtles!
