Precautions:

1, it is best not to keep turtles in the bedroom. This is because raising turtles will emit a lot of water vapor, increase indoor humidity, easily breed mold and lead to biological pollution. In addition, if there is filtering, it will also produce noise and affect the turtle's sleep.

2. Always bathe the tortoise and scrub its shell, because there are many dirty things on it. If you don't wash it often, it's easy to infect turtles with bacteria until their shells rot and die.
