The economical value of the yellow-rimmed shell turtle is very high. Its meat is tender, delicious, and has nourishing yin and yang, detoxification and anti-cancer effects. It has become the first species of turtles for health and disease prevention. The domestic medical community can only use this type of tortoise as a raw material to make broken plate turtles and broken plate injections, which have a good therapeutic effect on tuberculosis, herpes bleeding, and chemotherapy-induced leukopenia. The yellow-rimmed shell turtle has a beautiful shape and high ornamental value. Accessible with people, it is deeply loved by people. Because of its high medicinal and ornamental value, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer wild species. The gap between supply and demand has been evident. Turtle prices have risen from 180 yuan per kilogram in 1995 to 450 to 550 yuan, and there is still a trend of rising. Therefore, prospects for artificial breeding are very promising.
First, the morphological features:
The main feature of the yellow-rimmed shell turtle is that the dorsal bulge is high, the height of the body is almost 1/2 of the length, the front end of the kiss is flat, and the upper jaw has a clear hook. The top of the head is olive-colored, with a yellow "U"-shaped arc behind the eyes, with large eyes and clear tympanic membrane. The carapace is red or brown-red, with a pale yellow sliver in the center. Each scutellum is more concentric. The plastron is dark brown, with a ligament connected between the armor and plastron, between the chest shield and the plastron. The anterior and posterior edges of the plastron are semicircular and not nicked. The limbs are gray-brown, slightly flat, with scales. Fingers and toes have a half turn and a short tail. The male and female identification method of the yellow-rimmed shell turtle is as follows: The female turtle has a wide back, and the back of the carapace slopes down slightly at the last vertebral shield, slightly semicircular, so the trunk appears shorter and the back of the turtle is shorter. Blunt, short tail. The male turtle's dorsal armor has a high elevation and its top is pointed. The back of the carapace slowly descends downwards, so the trunk appears longer and the tail is longer and the drainage hole is farther from the base.
Second, living habits:
In the natural world, the yellow-rimmed shell turtle inhabits forest margins, weeds, and shrubs in hilly and mountainous areas, and is located in relatively quiet places such as under the trees and stone seams. The activity is dark and not far from the streamed valley. Hi group home, often see more than one turtle in the same cave. The body structure of the yellow-rimmed shell turtle is more special than that of other turtles. Its back and plastron, abdomen shield and chest are connected by ligaments. Therefore, when a turtle encounters an encroachment, it can be pinched or pinched. Animals such as snakes and rats can also be retracted into their shells without exposing their flesh. The yellow-rimmed shell turtle is bolder than other freshwater turtles and is not afraid of people. Few fights of the same species occur. Individuals who are kept for 2 to 4 months can crawl with the owner under the teaser. Yellow-rimmed shell turtles are semi-aquatic turtles and cannot live in deep waters. In captivity, when the temperature reaches 18-22 degrees Celsius, the turtle has less activity in the morning and evening, and there are more activities before and after noon. When the temperature is 25-34 degrees Celsius, the turtle mainly acts at night, early morning or late evening, hidden in caves and trees during the day. Or in the sand. In the rainy season, it often rains outside the cave. From December to January to March of the following year, it is the turtle's hibernation period. When the temperature is 19 degrees Celsius, the turtle stops feeding; the temperature drops to about 10 degrees Celsius and the turtle enters hibernation. During hibernation, hi hides in caves, branches, or under thicker shrivel grasses, and most of them are sunny and leeward. When the temperature is 15 degrees Celsius, the turtle wakes up again. Yellow-rimmed shell turtles are omnivorous. The yellow-rimmed shell turtle is generally mated from mid-April to the end of October. Before mating, the male turtles spin around the female turtles, sometimes in front of the female turtles to prevent the female turtles from advancing. If the female does not move, the male climbs on the back of the female and wraps it around. The time is usually 10 minutes. May to September is the spawning period, spawning 2 to 4 eggs at a time and spawning in batches. Egg white, long oval, egg length 40 ~ 46 mm, short diameter 20 ~ 26 mm, egg weight 8.5 ~ 20.1 grams. The size of the eggs is directly proportional to the weight of the turtle. Spawning occurs mostly in haystacks and sandy soils, and turtles have eggs.
Third, turtle pond construction:
Yellow-rimmed shell turtles are mainly land-based, but they also need to go to shallow water areas to drink and play. Turtle ponds should be built with water and land. The water level should not be too deep, with water depth no higher than 2/3 of its carapace or not. It is advisable to float the turtle in the water. Turtle ponds generally consist of turtle nests, spawning grounds, sports grounds, feeding points, and pools. The upper part of the turtle nests should have coverings for turtles to hide; the sports grounds are preferably sandy lands and grasslands, allowing the turtles to perform activities in this area. In which a herbivorous trough is fed to feed, such as breeding turtles, fill 30 centimeters thick sand in one corner as a breeding ground for turtles. A shallow pool is built on one side of the turtle pool for drinking and swimming. If conditions permit, planting green plants around them to simulate the natural environment will benefit both their growth and reproduction.
Fourth, feeding and management of the yellow edge of the shell turtle is more resistant to low temperature, but also high temperature, eating habits, disease resistance, feeding more convenient. From March to April, when the humidity is above 18 degrees Celsius, turtles wake up and hibernate. When the temperature starts at 20 degrees Celsius, it begins to eat. Generally, it begins to eat one week after the emergence of hibernation. The food intake at the beginning was less, and the food intake gradually increased as the temperature increased. From May to September, the highest food intake was during the period of strong growth. After October, the food intake will decrease as the temperature gradually decreases. After mid-November, he stopped eating and entered hibernation.
Yellow-rimmed shell turtles have a wide diet. Under artificial rearing conditions, animal or plant feeds such as viscera, small trash fish, earthworms, yellow mealworms and tomatoes, fruits and vegetables such as rice can be fed. It is usually fed in the morning, evening or evening. The feeding amount is generally 3 to 5% of the turtle's weight. Yellow-rimmed shell turtles are sensitive to smell and smell the food. They came to snatch food, bite the food, looked up, and swallowed. If the food is too large, press with your forehead, twist your head and neck, and torn the food and swallow it. In order to ensure the balance of nutrients in the turtle body, appropriate amounts of vitamins C and E can be added to promote normal growth. Frequent cleaning of the stocking yard requires changing the water 1 or 2 times a week depending on the temperature and cleanliness of the pool. Change the water every 1 to 2 days in the hot season. And add disinfectant drugs regularly in the water. At the same time, add terramycin to feed to prevent diarrhea.
During the high-temperature summer season, shade is placed on the upper part of the turtle pool to keep the turtle pool cool and create a suitable environmental condition for the turtle.
During the winter, the turtles like to drill into the loose sand or hay and hibernate for winter. Can be added in the turtle pond clean sand or sterilized sun exposure, hay, straw and so on. The upper part of the turtle pond should be covered with insulation during the winter season, and it should not be frozen.
5. Breeding hatchery Yellow-rimmed shell turtles have mating in mid-April to mid-October. Males sometimes compete for spouses and attack each other. Weak males escape and sometimes are bitten. Therefore, the ratio of males to females is generally 3:1. Female turtles begin spawning in late May until the end of August. From June to July, it is a rich period. It usually produces 2 eggs a year, and spawns 2 to 4 eggs each time. The egg weight is 15-20 grams, the long diameter is 40-45mm, and the short diameter is 20-25mm. Female turtles dig and spawn in dry and wet conditions where the soil is loose, and leave after covering. The period of labor is 1 to 2 hours, which is more common in the afternoon 2 to 6 o'clock. The eggs can be hatched and hatched artificially the next day after the turtles lay eggs. Use a wooden board to make a 60*40*50cm wooden box. Drill several holes for filtering water, lay 3cm thick coarse sand, and put sand on the sand (ratio 6:4) to leave gaps between the eggs. The relative humidity is 80%. It is advisable to use hands to clump and let loose. The temperature is generally around 30 degrees, after 50 to 60 days to hatch.
Sixth, disease prevention and control of the yellow-rimmed shell turtle disease is less, but if do not pay attention to the daily health and feeding corrupt feed, it is easy to cause diarrhea. Usually should be the main prevention, regularly spilled low concentration of disinfectant drugs in the pool. Adding some oxytetracycline and fluoropain drugs to the feed will effectively prevent the disease from occurring.
