2. Living habits Yellow-rimmed box turtles are semi-aquatic turtles that often live in ponds or streams. Hi group home, common to more than one turtle in the same cave. The spring and autumn seasons fluctuate around noon. The higher summer temperatures are dominated by activities after dusk, and are mostly hidden in caves, sand or forests during the day.

Under artificial rearing conditions, they eat crickets, yellow mealworms, small fish, snails, snail meat, and frog meat. , viscera, and cereals, fruits and vegetables.
4. Growth characteristics Females of the same age females grow faster than males. After sexual maturity, females still grow faster and males grow more slowly. In addition, different feeds and different ambient temperatures have different growth rates.
5. Breeding habits The yellow-bellied box turtle has a body weight of about 280 grams, and a female turtle has a body weight of about 450 grams and reaches sexual maturity. In mid-April, mating began, and May-September was the maternity period. Spawning was performed in batches. Eggs were produced 3-4 times a year, and spawning was 2-7 at a time. Egg white, oblong.

Temperatures range from 22 degrees to 28 degrees. Eggs can hatch hatchlings.
Second, aquaculture technology
1. Turtle pond construction Turtle pond should be built in a place with sufficient water, good water quality, and a quiet environment. Young turtles and hatchlings are often used to keep cement ponds and raise turtles and turtles to use more land. The pool slope should be gentle so that the turtle body can crawl ashore and there is an spawning ground in the pool. Around the earthen ponds there are anti-escape walls with a height of 50 centimeters. The wall base is about 25 centimeters into the earth. There are anti-escape nets at the entrance and exit. Some aquatic plants, such as water lilies, are stocked in the pond to hide and shelter the turtle body.
2. Disinfection and Restocking Turtle ponds should be thoroughly disinfected with drugs such as quicklime or bleach before they are stocked. The new cement pool needs to be washed for 10 days to 15 days before use. When stocking turtle body also need to use salt water or potassium permanganate solution bath disinfection.

For turtles weighing 20 to 30 grams, bone meal may be added to feed to prevent osteomalacia.
The residual baits in the pool should be cleared in time, and the water should be changed regularly in spring and autumn. In summer, the water should be changed frequently and the water level should be deepened. After heavy rain, excess rainwater entering the pool must be drained in time.
Daily inspections should be conducted to observe the activities and feeding conditions of the turtles, to see the water quality and water level, to see if there are any invasions, to see if the anti-fighting facilities are in good condition, etc., and to solve the problems in time.
In winter, turtles and turtles reared outdoors can overwinter in the original pool, and it is best to hold a plastic film greenhouse in the top of the pond. The hatchlings and hatchlings reared outdoors are preferred to go winter in indoor wintering ponds.
