conduct being abrupt, it is the character which does not grow tired.

Keeping is easy.

Yellow Mud Turtle like sunlight bath, but there are also times which swim actively and turn.
Making the deep place with the tank of large texture.

Because the sunlight you bathe, be sure to install the land place.

When it starts swimming once, there are also times which 20~30 amount swim and turn.

Color of the shell is different in each individual, ocher and navy blue etc rather.

Because as for the male the atrocious individual is many, as for mixed living Keeping the one which is not done is good, probably will be.
