Features: The golden coin turtle is an animal with extremely high economic value. In addition to being used for ornamental purposes and medicinal use, it has recently become a highly valuable household pet. Due to overhunting, wild golden coin turtles are now rare, making the development of artificial breeding a promising and bright prospect. The author of this book is a "turtle enthusiast" from Guangzhou with over 40 years of experience in breeding golden coin turtles. He has successfully solved the problem of artificial hatching in golden coin turtles for the first time through his breeding practices, paving the way for artificial breeding. This book introduces the identification, feeding, hatching, management, feed formulation, and disease prevention of golden coin turtles. At the same time, it briefly introduces the breeding techniques of aquatic turtles and land tortoises such as the yellow-marginated box turtle. This book is both a summary of the author's many years of breeding experience and a valuable reference book for turtle enthusiasts seeking to breed and profit.
