A Strong Tortoise That Is Easy To Keep

As long as I have kept and cared for the African Sideneck Turtle, I have never had trouble caring for it. This turtle is also quite active and strong. Although strong, turtles can still get infectious diseases and need unique and extra care. Meanwhile, the African Sideneck Turtle can immediately stress and bite when held. In addition, this turtle can also be aggressive when mating and its habitat is too small and dirty.

About African Sideneck Turtle Care Guide

The African Sideneck Turtle is a freshwater turtle that spends most of its time in mud, riverbeds, and shallow lakes. This dark-shelled animal feeds on invertebrates, such as insects and worms. The male African Sideneck Turtle stores its sperm from May to September. After that, it is released into the epidermis three times longer than the testes. Then, the female can lay as many as 6 to 40 eggs at a time.
