CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it better to keep a water turtle or a land turtle?

Judging from your question, you are obviously a beginner. Of course, I don’t recommend you to raise tortoises. It is better to start with aquatic turtles.

It is recommended to start with grass, flower, and throat. Grass and flower are relatively cheap, only a dozen to a few dozen yuan. Northern throat is less than 100 yuan, and southern throat is slightly more expensive. In short, grass, flower, and throat are relatively easy to grow and are not easy to die.

In addition to these entry-level aquatic turtle species, the semi-aquatic (partially terrestrial) yellow-margined turtle is also a good choice, which meets your standard of "looking good and having a better understanding of human characteristics". However, the margin model seedlings have a certain sudden death rate. It is recommended to start from sub-adults and keep them safe, which is not easy to kill. A sub-adult yellow-margined turtle of average appearance can be obtained at 500 to 700 yuan.

I don't recommend you to raise tortoises. The equipment is rather troublesome, and nine out of ten times, novices will kill them. Money is one thing, but it would be sad if you develop feelings for them and then see them die.

Please accept if you are satisfied.

The water turtle is of moderate size, and generally eats shrimp and fish. The food is not very good, and it is easy to smell. Changing the water is also more troublesome than the Senai, and it is relatively dirty. There is a sense of distance, and generally the water turtle will not be taken out of the tank to play. It is suitable for landscaping, and you can appreciate the swimming posture of the turtle. Most of them are not protected animals, and there is no legal risk.

Tortoises are relatively large and have high backs. Vegetables can be used as food. There is no trouble of changing water. It is just like raising rabbits. There is no sense of distance. Most species of Fansong need to be heated, which is difficult to raise. In addition, tortoises are national protected animals and there are legal risks.

I think they are all troublesome. Aquatic turtles need water, changing water, and drying them in the sun are very troublesome. Land turtles are very easy to get sick, and it takes a lot of effort and equipment. Considering the cost, it is best to raise red-eared sliders and tortoises! There is no necessary equipment, it is easy to raise and fun!

Aquatic turtles are easy to raise, but raising land tortoises requires a large space because they do not live in water. In addition, their food intake is very large, and young land tortoises are quite large in size. Land tortoises are also expensive.

It is better for beginners to raise aquatic turtles. Land turtles are much more difficult to raise than aquatic turtles.

The most common aquatic turtle is the grass turtle, which costs dozens of yuan each. The red-eared slider is similar to the grass turtle.

You can also choose a razorback turtle, which looks quite cute and costs around 150-300 yuan.
