How big can a small turtle grow? The scientific name of the small turtle is mauremys mutica, also known as the money turtle. There are two subspecies of * * *. Mauremys mutica is of medium build, with a flat oval shape, a small head and two yellow lines passing through the eyes. The color of the body will change during the growth process, which is generally similar to the color of the habitat, but it is usually yellow, yellow, olive, green and brown-black. The carapace of Xiaoqing turtle varies from 10- 14 cm, and the female is slightly smaller than the male.
Living Habits mauremys mutica is generally found in hills, basins, rivers and valleys, and occasionally moves in paddy fields and bushes. They move in the water during the day, bask in the sun on the shore in sunny days, and don't like to move in hot days. They bury their bodies in the sand at night and don't move. When the temperature is 18-32℃, mauremys mutica will fall into hibernation; when the temperature is 35-36℃, they will be difficult to adapt, and their weight will be reduced by 50-100g after hibernation. This is an omnivorous animal, from animal viscera to fruits and vegetables, which can be their food, and feed is the main food in artificial breeding.
Mauremys mutica is mainly distributed in China, Ryukyu Islands, Viet Nam and Japan. In China, it is distributed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other coastal areas.
Protection level At present, mauremys mutica is an endangered species, and its wild number is very scarce, and there are no effective protection measures. Fortunately, there are successful domestication and breeding techniques, and the development speed is relatively fast, and a large number of artificial breeding can be carried out. Even so, we should protect the wild mauremys mutica, put an end to game, and protect rare animals.
