Long-necked Tortoise That Likes To Explore

The African sideneck turtle is my most unique pet at home because it has a longer neck than other turtles. In addition, this turtle is always curious and very active in exploring its surroundings. Its easy and simple maintenance makes it easy for me to take care of it. However, this African sideneck tortoise is tricky to hold.

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.
