Green-eared turtle is a rare aquatic ornamental animal. It has always enjoyed the reputation of "living jade", "green-clad elf", "green-haired turtle" and "millennia turtle". In recent years, the green-toed turtle has gradually developed into an eye-catching ornamental product. It is fun in the water regardless of whether it is still or moving. It has become urban fashion to buy a few green turtles for indoor viewing and entertainment. Artificial rearing of green turtles is a new way to get rich. So, how can we cultivate the green turtle? Jiang Zhanglin, a member of the Chinese Agronomy Association and expert in raising turtles at the leading museum of amphibians and reptiles in Haining, Zhejiang Province, said: “The cultivation of green-eared turtles is a highly technical work. Green turtles must be nurtured to keep green turtles because green Hairy tortoises are a combination of animal and plant products. In breeding and feeding management, the biological characteristics of the two must be organically combined in order to truly cultivate the green hairy turtle.†Now Jiang Lin’s experience in cultivating the green tortoise is described below. . First, the preparation of venues, equipment and tools 1. Site selection. Should choose a spacious, sunny, ventilated place, requiring a convenient water source, a quiet environment, no air pollution. The most suitable for a spacious courtyard. Surrounding walls should be set up around the site. The ground should be flat and there should be no water accumulation. It is best to use bricks and have sewers. Above the breeding ground, shade shelters or shade plants such as grapes, gourd, and vines should be planted. In addition, the living room balcony, window sill, etc. can also be used as a site to cultivate green turtles. In general, it takes about 10 square meters to cultivate 100 green turtles. 2. Containers and tools. The container can use plastic buckets, pottery jars, glass jars, enamel jars, porcelain sinks, etc. The inner wall is required to be smooth and free from obstruction. Other tools include large buckets for washing turtles, brushes, straws, spoons, thermometers, scissors, combs, etc. Second, the choice of turtle species Most freshwater turtles can be bred to green turtles artificially, but the most suitable ones are yellow-throated turtles and eye-spotted turtles. The quality of turtles requires lively, healthy and disease-free, back shell floor intact, weighing 200 grams to 500 grams. Third, the choice of algae species The best algae species should be the genus Basidiomycetes, which are long, flexible and green, and suitable for growing in mountain streams or mountain streams where the water quality is clear and the water flow is slow. This algae temperature range is 0 °C ~ 35 °C. Due to the similar appearance of the genus M. albus and M. halodendron, it is difficult to distinguish them. To prevent mistakes, it is best to purchase a small amount of green-eared turtles directly, or directly purchase the genus Algae from the credible unit. IV. Inoculation culture of green turtles 1. Inoculation season It can be vaccinated all year round, but it is most suitable from early spring to early summer. In the early spring, the turtle is still in hibernation and is almost inactive. The turtle's spores are easy to establish. After a summer cultivation, the length of the green hair can reach 5 cm to 7 cm, and the qualified green turtles can be cultivated that year. . 2. Preparation before vaccination 1 Stop feeding turtles 5 days prior to inoculation to eliminate feces and urine. Before inoculation, wash the body of the turtle with a clean surface, remove the oil, and put it in a bath of 8 g of copper sulfate per cubic meter of water for 30 minutes to kill the algae. Then take out and store it in clean water. 2 Two days prior to inoculation, the preserved genus Basidiomycetes is removed in the required amount (usually a single species of green hair needs 3 grams to 5 grams of algae), washed repeatedly in clean water to wash off the attached stains. Spores of mud, sand, grass, debris, and other algae. Washing can be done with a new brush or soft-bristled brush, and carefully remove some of the large macroscopic algae with a small forceps. After the algae are cleaned and put into clean water, the containers containing the algae are placed in the sunlight and heated to maintain the water temperature at 20°C to 25°C. 3 Before inoculation, the corresponding inoculation tank (barrel) should be prepared according to the number of turtles to be inoculated and strictly sterilized. Disinfection can be done with 10% saline, or 10% potassium permanganate or 1% bleach solution for 1 hour to 2 hours, and then washed repeatedly with clean water. 3. Inoculation method 1 near the inoculation method. In the same container, use a screen cloth to divide it into two halves, put a green-haired turtle on one side and an inoculating turtle on the other side. 2 spore water inoculation method. The water of the cultured turtle algae is poured into the inoculated turtle container. 3 green water inoculation method. Take out the treated algae species from the water, cut into small pieces of about 1 mm in length with scissors, and then inject the water and turtles. 4 direct inoculation method. Wash the turtle seeds and soak in the water for a day or night. Before the inoculation, the turtles were removed, and the turtles were rubbed with the algae species of the genus Basidiomycetes. After the rubbing, each turtle was opened and raised. 5 rapid inoculation method, also known as mixed inoculation method. The spore water method, the green water method, and the direct inoculation method combine the advantages of the three methods. The inoculated algae grows quickly and densely. 4. Management after inoculation To prevent excessive inoculation of algae, the water quality deteriorates. If the amount of inoculated algae is too much, add water to dilute or suck out the bottom dirt. The water temperature is maintained at 20°C~26°C and the water depth is 15 cm to 20 cm. After the general vaccination, no water change is required within one month. After seeing the hair, the turtle must also pay attention to the following daily management: First, it must maintain the clean water quality, the second is to maintain the appropriate temperature and appropriate light, the third is to maintain proper feeding, and fourth is to often clean the turtle body and green hair.
