Chapter 1820 Attacking the Snapping Turtle

In terms of species, snapping turtles are divided into large snapping turtles and small snapping turtles. Large snapping turtles are also called convex-backed snapping turtles, small snapping turtles are also called flat-backed snapping turtles, and small snapping turtles are divided into 4 subspecies. The main difference between snapping turtles and small snapping turtles is the protruding back scutellum. With the increase of age, the large snapping turtles are always prominent, while the small snapping turtles are juvenile and juvenile, and the adult stage is not so prominent.

Snapping turtles look strange, and their tail spines are especially crocodile. In terms of growth rate, the snapping turtle grows slowly when it is young. When it grows to 250 grams, the growth rate increases. Under artificial temperature control, it only takes 1 year from 250 grams to 2500 grams. The largest individual found in nature is 100 More than kilograms.

Baby snapping turtles grow slowly below 50 grams. It takes about 80 days to grow from 7 grams to 50 grams. Under temperature-controlled conditions, it takes only 1 year for baby snapping turtles to grow to 2250 grams on average. Under natural conditions, individual snapping turtles can grow to more than 23 kilograms.

The difference in the growth rate of snapping turtles and small snapping turtles is mainly caused by different habits. Large snapping turtles are lazy and are not good at taking active food. They rely on the "tongue" that resembles an earthworm to lure small fish to "hook."

Snapping turtles are aquatic turtles. They like a quiet environment. They like to be in the water during the day, lying on wood or rocks, and sometimes floating on the water.

There is a classification of snapping turtles called snake snapping turtles. In the wild, snakes and snapping turtles like to inhabit the shallow cement sandy bottom of freshwater or low-salt salt water lakes, rivers, reservoirs, ponds, marshes and waters overgrown with grass. Occasionally, he climbed on land to crawl and bask in the sun.

It often only exposes the nostrils and eyes to the surface of the water, and the head does not fully extend. Hidden in the water during the day, crawling everywhere at night. Snake snapping turtles have strong limbs, claws and long tails. They have strong climbing ability and are good at escaping.

Snakes and snapping turtles are ferocious and can bite. Adult snapping turtles can emit a musk-like smell, especially when subjected to strong interference. Snake snapping turtles have a strong ability to adapt to temperature. They are not afraid of cold or heat, and their survival temperature is 5 to 42 ℃.

The optimum growth temperature is 28～32℃. When the temperature reaches 35℃ or above, it will stay under the water or in the sand to escape the heat. When the temperature is below 15℃, it will enter a state of hibernation. When the temperature rises above 15°C, the snake snapping turtle resumes normal feeding. Snake snapping turtles are more adaptable to water with salinity than other turtles. For example, they can also adapt to growth in waters where the salinity of the domestic tidal flat reaches 3‰.

Snake snapping turtles also have a wide range of adaptations to the pH of water. For example, it can grow and reproduce normally in the range of pH 6.5 to 8.5. Snakes and snapping turtles often lurk in the water during the day, prefer low light and darkness, and fear strong light. Like clear water, avoid muddy water. When snakes and snapping turtles are foraging in the water, they like to prey on moving live food, which is an omnivorous animal that is partial to animal food. Juvenile snapping turtles, young snapping turtles and adult snapping turtles have slightly different feeding habits. Juvenile snapping turtles and juvenile snapping turtles like to eat water worms, small fishes and shrimps, fly maggots, aquatic insects and other meaty small animals. Young turtles sometimes prey on small similar species, such as juvenile snapping turtles, so special care should be taken when raising them at home at this point.

Adult snake snapping turtles like to eat larger live bait, such as fish, shrimp, frogs, toads and a variety of fresh water plants. In addition to feeding fresh animal and plant feeds under artificial feeding conditions, snakes and snapping turtles like to eat artificially formulated pellets. The growth rate of juvenile snapping turtles and juvenile snapping turtles is slow, and they enter a period of rapid growth after they reach 350 grams.

Looking at Feifei, Zhao Zhongyao told him some knowledge about snapping turtles. After hearing this, Feifei asked, ‘Dad, what kind of classification is the snapping turtle we are facing now. ’

Zhao Zhongyao looked at the strange snapping turtle in front of him and said, ‘this should be a snake snapping turtle! However, this is Ceres, and the snapping turtles here are different from those on Earth. I can't tell you what kind of snapping turtle is this kind of snapping turtle. ’

‘Dad, what shall we do now. It seems that it is not going to let us pass here. Feifei saw this big snapping turtle and now stood in front of them, and then looked at them. Obviously, they are not going to pass here.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at the snapping turtle in front of him and said, ‘we don’t have to be afraid of it. Although it is very powerful in water. But when it reaches the top of the ice, it won't be so powerful. ’

Zhao Zhongyao felt that this big snapping turtle could not crawl quickly on the ice. After all, they are creatures that live in water and are not used to them on land. However, this animal obviously saw a few humanoid animals. It is also very curious and wants to come out and take a look!

‘Then what shall we do,’ Feifei said, looking at Zhao Zhongyao again.

‘In this way, let’s hit it with ice cubes. I think as long as we attack it, it will hide in the water. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

After finishing talking, Zhao Zhongyao picked up an ice block first and smashed the snapping turtle. But this snapping turtle just didn't respond.

‘Okay, we will attack it with ice cubes. After Feifei finished speaking, he also picked up a block of ice from the top of the ice layer, and then hurled it at the snapping turtle.

But when this piece of ice hit this big snapping turtle, it didn't even react at all. Because it looks like it is wearing thick armor. How could it care if others attack it with ice cubes. After all, its figure is also very huge. A small piece of ice can't help it.

Zhao Zhongyao watched Feifei smash it, it was useless. It also picked up a larger piece of ice to attack it.

Now, this big snapping turtle finally reacted. It actually crawled directly towards Zhao Zhongyao, and its movements turned out to be very fast.

Zhao Zhongyao quickly climbed onto a huge ice stone next to him. This made this big snapping turtle helpless. However, it seems that it is still unwilling, and it has crawled around this ice rock several times. It seems that I want to find a place where I can climb onto ice and rocks.

However, this ice rock is very steep around it, about one meter high. For an adult, it is possible to climb up. But for a snapping turtle, it cannot climb up.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at this big snapping turtle, only to attack him. Did not attack other people. He hurriedly looked at Feifei and said, ‘Feifei, you and your old mother, hurry up to the iceberg! ’

Zhao Zhongyao felt this was an opportunity, taking advantage of this big snapping turtle just paying attention to him and not paying attention to other people. He asked Feifei and Tiantianhuan Qu Yuqian to walk through this place and climb onto the iceberg.

After hearing what his father said, Feifei quickly greeted his mother and sister. The three of them walked towards the distant iceberg together. Soon, they walked to the front of the iceberg.
