Basic information of stone turtle

Stone turtle, also known as yellow-throated turtle, stone golden turtle, yellow turtle, water turtle, fragrant turtle, yellow turtle, belongs to the reptile class and aquatic turtles in animal taxonomy. It is distributed in Anhui, Fujian, Guangxi, Taiwan, Guangdong, Vietnam, Japan and other places.

The throat of the stone turtle is yellow, the carapace is yellow or black, brown, and the plastron is yellow. There are large ink stains on the outside of each shield, the bridge of the carapace is obvious, and the dorsal and ventral carapaces are connected by ligaments. The difference between the male and female turtles is that the male has a thick tail and the cloaca exceeds the edge of the carapace, while the female has a thin and short tail and the cloaca is closer to the body; the female turtle is larger than the male turtle and can lay eggs 1-3 times a year, 1-5 eggs each time, and it takes about 65-80 days to hatch. When the temperature is below 20 degrees in winter, the activity will gradually decrease, and finally enter a hibernation state until the temperature warms up. The medicinal value of the stone turtle is the same as that of the golden coin turtle, but the unit cost is lower than that of the golden coin turtle.

Stone turtles can usually be sold when they are 4-5 years old. Those over 5 years old are kept as breeding turtles and are rarely sold on the market. Stone turtles that are 12-13 years old weigh at least 2.5 kilograms each. In May 2012, the average price of 12-13 year old female Vietnamese stone turtles was 1,400-1,500 yuan per kilogram, and the price of turtle seedlings was 200-250 yuan per turtle. In August 2012, the average price of 12-13 year old female Vietnamese stone turtles was 1,500-1,700 yuan per kilogram, and the price of turtle seedlings was 270-350 yuan per turtle.

How to keep stone turtle seedlings warm during the winter? What tools are needed? How to spend the winter safely?

Stone turtle, is it the yellow-throated pond turtle?

This is a very good deep-water turtle. The difficulty level is the lowest. Although the price is a bit expensive now.

My advice is not to heat over the winter.

If the winter where you live is not extremely cold and the indoor temperature does not drop below zero, it is safest to let the fish spend the winter in water.

If you want to heat it, you can buy a small electric heating rod, which can control the temperature within a certain range, and put it directly in the water. Use a thermometer to measure the water temperature. 24-25 degrees is suitable, and you can eat normally.

If there is heating in the north, it is a good idea to use electric heating rods during the winter to avoid large temperature differences caused by unstable heating.

It is better for people in the south to overwinter naturally.

As long as the water does not freeze, let the yellowthroat overwinter in the water.

Some people may say that this kind of hibernation is not very peaceful, and is actually a state of half sleeping and half waking.

It doesn't matter, it's the safest way.

The water depth should be just above the back. The first point should be up to the waist, and the back can be exposed appropriately.

But it should not be too low or too high.
