Precautions:

1, it is best not to keep turtles in the bedroom. This is because raising turtles will emit a lot of water vapor, which will increase the indoor humidity, easily breed mold and lead to biological pollution. In addition, if there is filtering, it will also produce noise and affect the turtle's sleep.

2. Always bathe the tortoise and scrub its shell, because there is a lot of dirt on them. If it is not cleaned often, it will easily infect the tortoise with bacteria until its shell rots and dies.
