The flat-chested turtle, also known as the big-headed turtle, is a rare reptile. Its dorsal carapace is oblong in shape, with a length of between 12 and 18 cm, and its unique shape impresses. The dorsal carapace is rich in color, including brown yellow, brown, black, and dark green, which makes the flat-chested turtle have a certain camouflage effect in nature.
The flat-chested turtle has a particularly large head and an elongated tail, which is very different from other turtles. Its head cannot be retracted into its shell, which is also a distinctive feature of flat-chested turtles. In addition, it has a distinctly shield on its dorsal carapace, which is an important organ for the flat-chested turtle to protect itself and defend against predators. The dorsal and ventral carapaces are tightly connected by ligaments, and this special body structure allows the flat-chested turtle to move easily on land and in water.
It is worth noting that the tail length of the flat-chested turtle is almost equal to the body length, which is one of its unique physiological characteristics. This special body structure allows the flat-chested turtle to swim quickly in the water and crawl quickly on land.
The flat-chested turtle is a national first-class protected animal, and its protection is particularly important due to its scarcity. Although it is not too difficult to raise a flat-chested turtle, it requires a certain amount of knowledge and skill. During the feeding process, it is necessary to provide a suitable living environment, keep the water clean, and provide appropriate food. At the same time, care should be taken to prevent the flat-chested turtle from being harmed, so as not to affect its health. Therefore, for people who want to raise flat-chested turtles, it is necessary to be well prepared and understood.
