1. To breed alligator snapping turtles well, the living environment is very important. Alligator snapping turtles are large in size, so the container must be large enough. Place a sunbathing platform in the container so that the turtle can bask in the sun and rest on it. You can put some water plants, sand and stones around the sunbathing platform to maintain a good ecological environment.

2. Feeding: Alligator snapping turtles are omnivorous turtles, and they can eat a lot of food. They can be roughly divided into two categories: animal food and plant food. Animal food includes small fish, shrimp, snails, earthworms, etc. You can also feed some fresh lean meat and animal liver. Plant food includes wild fruits, aquatic plants, and plant stems and leaves. Before feeding, be sure to disinfect, wash, and chop the food before feeding. You can feed it once every 1-2 days.

3. Alligator snapping turtles have strong vitality, but if you buy them online, you should pay attention to the early stage of express delivery. Keep quiet and feed them after a period of rest. There will be no problem. Pay attention to the temperature of the feeding, and be careful not to be bitten. When feeding, do not feed them food with shells. Do not force-feed when feeding, or the turtle will spit it out.

4. Water quality: The water quality of snapping turtles is very demanding. They need light green water. In addition, the water needs to be changed regularly to keep the water clean. After feeding, the remaining food should be cleaned up in time to avoid affecting the water quality.

1. Environmental factors. Aquatic turtles live in water, and the depth of the water for raising turtles is generally slightly higher than the turtle's back, but not too deep, and should not exceed twice the height of the turtle's back. It is best to provide a stone above the water surface for the turtle to climb up and bask in the sun. Turtles need sunlight, so if they are kept completely indoors, they should be allowed to bask in the sun frequently, for more than ten minutes a day.

2. In view of the high-density intensive turtle farming conditions, the turtles have a large amount of food intake and excrement, and the water temperature is high. Even if the feed is green feed, it will pollute the water quickly, and more harmful substances are easily produced in the water body, especially ammoniated nitrite and H2S, which are more harmful. By spraying and applying photosynthetic bacteria at the bottom, the water quality can be effectively improved and harmful substances can be reduced. Every time new pool water is added, 10×10-6~15×10-6 photosynthetic bacteria should be applied at the same time; changing water is also an effective way to regulate water quality. The water depth of about 20 cm can be changed once a day, and the water depth of 30 cm can be changed once every 2 days. Avoid not changing water for many days, and do not let the water body emit a bad smell. Quicklime can be sprayed once every 7 to 10 days, with a concentration of 70×10-6, and pay attention to cross-application with photosynthetic bacteria, and do not use them at the same time.

3. Alligator turtles like to live in a clean water environment. Therefore, during the breeding process, we should pay attention to changing new water. Moreover, to ensure the survival rate of alligator turtles, we must keep the water temperature environment stable. The scientific regulation of water temperature directly affects the weight gain and survival rate of adult turtles. When alligator turtles are kept at 18℃ to 20℃ for a long time, their growth rate is several times slower than the optimal growth water temperature of 30℃ to 31℃. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the water temperature of turtles within 30℃ to 31℃. On the other hand, when the turtle pond that is changing water or exposed to the outside world happens to encounter severe weather such as heavy rain or sudden temperature changes, timely precautions should be taken to avoid water temperature fluctuations greater than 2℃.

3. How to raise the alligator snapping turtle so that it will burst with spines

If you want to make the snapping turtle grow spines, the breeder must first place the snapping turtle in deep water. The snapping turtle needs to be raised in fresh water. The breeder also needs to feed the turtle shrimp roe, loach, small fish, shrimp and other foods to promote the turtle's spines. When the young turtle is 20 days old, it should be placed in deep water. After one month, the snapping turtle will start to grow spines.

How to raise the alligator snapping turtle

If you want the snapping turtle to grow spines, the breeder must first place the snapping turtle in deep water. First, you need to use light green water to raise the snapping turtle. The organic matter in the green water can promote the growth and development of the snapping turtle.

The breeder also needs to start with the young turtles, feeding them shrimp roe every two days, and feeding them 7 to 8 times a month. At other times, the breeder can feed loaches, small fish, and small shrimps.

When raising snapping turtles, breeders need to raise them separately and not mix them with other species. The water needs to be changed every day. After the seedlings are 20 days old, they are moved to deep water for breeding. After a month, the snapping turtles begin to develop spines.
