For turtles in northern areas, you need to choose turtle species that can adapt to lower temperatures. The following are some turtle species suitable for breeding in the north:
1. Hermann's Tortoise: This is a small tortoise that can be kept indoors or outdoors. They are relatively hardy to lower temperatures and very adaptable.
2. Yellow-necked Turtle: This is an aquatic turtle species that is suitable for keeping in outdoor ponds or indoor aquariums. Yellow-headed side-necked turtles have a certain tolerance to low temperatures, but appropriate heating equipment still needs to be provided.
3. North American Wood Turtle: This is a larger tortoise, mainly distributed in North America. They have good cold tolerance and can be raised outdoors, but they need to be provided with conditions for hibernation.
4. Gmelin's Pond Turtle: This is an aquatic turtle species that is adapted to lower temperatures. They can be kept outdoors in ponds, but adequate heating and protection from the cold must be provided.
Regardless of which turtle species you choose, breeding in northern regions requires special attention to providing the right temperatures, habitat, and diet. During cold seasons, it may be necessary to provide heating equipment or insulation to ensure the turtle's health and comfort. Be sure to learn more about the feeding requirements of your chosen turtle species and make reasonable adjustments based on local climate conditions.
