The reasons why the maple leaf turtle is called the king of death:

1. The maple leaf turtle is called the king of death because the maple leaf turtle has high requirements for breeding technology and it is easy to die during breeding. Maple leaf turtles are tropical creatures that have high environmental temperature requirements and cannot be overheated or cold. They can easily die due to careless temperature control.

2. They are very timid and easily frightened. They are also very territorial and can easily die from fights with other male turtles.

3. Maple leaf turtles are solitary animals and have a very strong sense of territory. If two male turtles live together without knowing this, fighting will occur, which may lead to death. Which body will survive? There will also be scars on the body, which can easily lead to death from infection and disease.

How to raise maple leaf turtles

1. Suitable living temperature. The suitable survival temperature for maple leaf turtles is 23-29 degrees Celsius. Humidity is controlled at around 75%. You can choose tortoise boxes and PVC boxes for daily breeding. Lay fine sand and other matting materials at the bottom, place a water basin and shelter.

2. Suitable feeding food. This food habit also varies depending on the environment. In artificial breeding, mealworms and crickets can be fed as staple food. Occasionally, small fish, small white suckling mice, etc., or fruits can also be fed.

3. Need light. They cannot be raised indoors as vitamins cannot be synthesized in the body. It will cause the maple leaf turtle's body to become soft and unable to move.

4. It requires enough space for movement. Maple Leaf Turtles are very athletic and like to crawl around, so the owner should try to create a large living space for the Maple Leaf Turtle.
