WHY ADOPT A TERRESTRIAL TURTLE🧠👨‍🎓👨‍💻

When we read about the oldest animals on the planet in books, we are not surprised that tortoises appear on that list! And if a land tortoise is an excellent pet for animal lovers who require a bit of demand, it lives in South America for a few years and I know that nothing is needed there to give our tortoise a quality of life, but here in Europe not It is easy! First of all, we don't have a constant tropical climate, so the temperature will be something that we should carefully control!😎😎
Cuando leemos en los libros sobre los animales mas longevos del planeta no nos sorprende que las tortugas terrestres aparezcan en esa lista! y si una tortuga terrestre es una excelente mascota para los amantes de animales que requieren un poco de exigencia, vive en sur america algunos años y se que alla no se necesita nada para darle a nuestra tortuga una calidad de vida, pero aqui en europa no es facil! primero no tenemos un clima tropical constante, por lo que la temperatura sera algo que deberiamos controlar minuciosamente!😅😮

A turtle is not cheap, that is the main problem when we are going to acquire one, I think that among reptiles, turtles are the easiest to care for and least demanding, but it still requires a moderate level of care! for example here in Portugal a turtle in an official pet store can cost more than 180 euros! and among the accessories we need we can spend up to 400 euros!😁🤑😜
Una tortuga no es barata, ese es el principal problema cuando vamos a adquirir una, creo que entre los reptiles las tortugas son los mas faciles de cuidar y menos exigentes, pero aun requiere un nivel de cuidado moderado! por ejemplo aqui en Portugal puede costar una tortuga en una tienda oficial de mascota mas de 180euros! y entre los accesorios que necesitamos podemos gastar hasta 400 euros!🤣

Turtles can recognize us, they know the feeding times! They can be very funny animals and that our children can play and it is almost impossible to hurt it only if the child drops it but the rest! They are perfect animals to spend a fun time and de-stress!😃😃

We must provide our turtle a safe place and a controlled environment where it cannot get sick, so we will need to buy a terrarium, this is a habitat that is usually sold for amphibians, reptiles since they are made with an air circulation system that does not lets retain heat and helps maintain an optimal temperature inside it! the bigger it is, the better our turtle needs space, one of one meter would be ideal!🤩🤩
Debemos proporcionar a nuestra tortuga un lugar seguro y un ambiente controlado donde no pueda enfermarse, por lo que necesitaremos comprar un terrario, esto es un habitat que se suele vender para amfibios, reptiles ya que son echos con un sistema de circulacion de aire que no deja retener el calor y que ayuda a mantener una temperatura optima dentro del mismo! mientras mas grande sea mejor nuestra tortuga necesita espacio seria ideal uno de un metro!😅⛪🏡

We are going to buy a hydrometer and a thermometer we can get a device that performs both measurements, it is essential to be very careful with our pet since they can live more than 50 years, there are records of turtles that live up to 100 years, let's say it is a pet that we can inherit it for our generations, well as all reptiles are cold-blooded and cannot regulate their body temperature, we must provide a temperature between 20 to 30 degrees this we do with two accessories!😘😘
Vamos a comprar un hidrómetro y un termómetro podemos conseguir un aparato que realiza ambas mediciones, es indispensable ser muy cuidadosos con nuestra mascota ya que pueden vivir mas de 50 años, hay registros de tortugas que viven hasta 100 anos, digamos que es una mascota que podemos heredarla para nuestras generaciones, bien como todo reptil son de sangre fria y no pueden regular su temperatura corporal, debemos proporcionar una temperatura de entre 20 a 30 grados esto lo hacemos con dos accesorios!😃😃

If we do not have a way to provide our turtle sun baths then we are going to buy a UVB lamp these special lamps will replace the sun in our terrarium and will help our turtle with its metabolism, with this lamp it will be able to perform digestion, it will be able to absorb calcium and special nutrients we are talking about 25euros😍😍
Si no tenemos forma de proporcionar a nuestra tortuga baños de sol entonces vamos a comprar una lampara UVB estas lamparas especiales van a reemplazar el sol en nuestro terrario y ayudara a nuestra tortuga con su metabolismo, con esta lampara podra realizar digestion, podra absorber calcio y nutrientes especiales estamos hablando de unos 25euros👨‍🏫👨‍🎓

Our terrarium must also have a cup available for our pet or as you can see in the image an imitation of deep natural stone here we can deposit the water for her, it must be great for her to take showers and easy access for her to enter at will! We are also going to buy another feeder to place her food, it is important to replace her food and water daily to avoid getting sick!😘😘
Nuestro terrario tambien debe poseer a disposicion de nuestra mascota una taza o como puedes ver en la imagen una imitacion de piedra natural profunda aqui podemos depositar el agua para ella, debe ser grande para ella tomar duchas y facil acceso para ella entrar a voluntad! tambien vamos a comprar otro comedero para colocar su alimento, es importante diariamente reeplazar su alimento y agua para evitar enfermarse!💯‼

We can buy all these accessories online or in any pet store that has a reptile section, the substrate is important for our turtle, we can buy wooden birutas like the one I show you in the previous photo, I personally recommend dried coconut shell It is cleaner and gives a realistic environment to the terrarium, we must also provide our pet with a hiding place for her to get there and feel safe, remember that she is not a predator!💥💥
Todos estos accesorios podemos comprarlos por internet o en cualquier tienda de animales que tenga una seccion de reptiles, el sustrato es importante para nuestra tortuga podemos comprar birutas de madera como la que te muestro en la foto anterior, yo personalmente te recomiendo concha de coco seca es mas limpia y da un ambiente realista al terrario, tambien debemos proporcionar a nuestra mascota un escondite para ella meterse alli y sentirse segura, recordemos que ella no es un depredador!🙂🙂

The diet must be balanced with vegetables, we try to give them foods that nature can have, fruits are also a good option, for example wild fences that are a rich source of vitamins, we are also going to incorporate special food for turtles into their diet. terrestrial and if we can vitamin complexes! all this will help our turtle to grow quickly and without diseases due to lack of nutrients!😶😶
La alimentacion debe ser balanceada con vegetales, tratamos de darles alimentos que en la naturaleza ella puede disponer, frutas tambien son una buena opcion, por ejemplo vallas silvestre que son una rica fuente en vitaminas, tambien vamos a incorporar en su dieta comida especial para tortugas terrestre y si podemos complejos vitaminicos! todo esto ayudara a nuestra tortuga a crecer rapidamente y sin enfermedades por carencia de nutrientes!🧠🦾🦿

Our heat source is very important, we can buy a heating lamp that emits enough heat so that our turtle feels at home, for this I recommend a ceramic lamp they are very durable, or a heating blanket is also a good option, they are placed under the terrarium and gives a uniform heat unlike the lamp!😋😋
Muy importante nuestra fuente de calor, podemos comprar una lampara para calentar que emita el calor suficiente para que nuestra tortuga se sienta como en casa, para ello te recomiendo una lampara de ceramica son muy duraderas, o tambien es buena opcion una manta de calentamiento, se colocan debajo del terrario y da un calor uniforme a diferencia de la lampara!💥💥

My great friend loves the water baths with the tap very carefully we can give them a bath as if it were our baby, but be careful with the temperature that is not very hot and not very cold, also be careful with cleaning products, baths are important because they stimulate her to defecate!💥💖

img_20210911_195701.jpg

img_20210911_195703.jpg

We also take her out for a daily walk to exercise, and socialize with us even though they are not animals that walk in groups in nature. I mean they are lonely less in reproductive season they love our company!💥💖
