taken by people all over the world and that in the end it brings, that when growing too much
and not being able to have them released in different streams and displacing other animals
of its territory, becoming a plague in places where they are not endemic, until
the point of becoming one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species on the planet.
even with this people are still looking for them as pets so it is necessary to know them
take care before having one. as a starting point, they are endemic to
north of america, south of the united states and in mexico, this because they belong to a
warm weather and with this it is necessary to know that they require a temperature and humidity
constant, but they also adapt to temperate climates.
the first thing to have one, is to have a fish tank, pond, terrarium or space where they go
to live, this place must be thought of in the future, as turtles will grow with the
time and most are acquired with a size that barely exceeds 7 centimeters,
so it is necessary that they have an area of 60 square centimeters, but you have to
consider that they are semiaquatic, so a portion must contain water,
ideal is that the amount of water at least cover the turtle completely but as
maximum that does not exceed 20 to 30 centimeters and a portion where you have land to be able
be when you want it, you should never put it in a tank full of water, because you can
suffocate by getting tired of going up and down to breathe. the water must be potable preferably
and be prepared to change it as the fence is dirty, because in a short time
this place will stink, since most of the times they fulfill their needs in
the aquatic environment. you can put stones and dirt so that
can move more easily, especially in the dry portion, the water should be
to maintain at a temperature of 23 degrees to 26 and the terrestrial portion of 24 to 27
degrees Celsius. To keep your temperature constant you can put a source of
insulated heat to prevent burning or electrocution. besides that they need
sunlight, this is usually provided with natural light or in the event that it is not
can from a special focus of ultra violet rays.

or adults, when they are small they eat more vegetables and occasionally
fish, when they are adults it is the inverse, for their feeding they can be provided with plants
well-washed aquatic or vegetable remains such as lettuce, and should have food such as
Charales, this movement encourages them to marry and eat, because you can give
the case that when you provide them with commercial food, do not pay attention to them. if they get to
dying the fish should be removed before the water spoils, it should be clarified
that some turtles prefer to consume dead prey, which is deposited in the bottom. avoid
over-feeding, as they may be overweight, if this happens, which is easily
observable when portions of their shoulders and legs come out of the shell when hiding,
they should decrease the amount of food, where it should be considered that they do not eat all
the days, norrête is spaced for 3 to 7 days, and never give them pizza.

the carapace, or join large specimens with small ones since there can be cannibalism
or aggressions, especially in small spaces. the interaction with the owner is almost
null and one should wash their hands after handling them, as they can transmit diseases,
Salmonellosis is one of the most common that inhabits normal bacterial flora in them.
to make a differentiation between females and males, it can be done with the length of
the tail and how far is the sewer, which is complicated, you can also
give the case that one day you find an egg of them, which is alone or with other
females, is infertile. they can have a life expectancy
in captivity of 20 to 40 years, being very long lived, where they must reach their size
of adults around 12 to 18 months of age, where they should detect some
