Why did the tortoise take the wrong armor?

Turtle is a common reptile, and its carapace is one of its important characteristics. The tortoise's carapace is divided into two parts, the upper part is called carapace, and the lower part is called abdominal carapace. Both carapace and carapace are composed of bones and horny plates, which are connected by muscles and ligaments to form a solid structure. The shell structure of turtles is very important, which can not only protect them from natural enemies, but also maintain their body temperature and water balance.

2. Causes of dislocation of carapace

The dislocation of tortoise's carapace may be caused by many reasons. One of the common reasons is that the shell surface of the tortoise is damaged by external forces, such as being hit, bitten, scratched and so on. In this case, the connection between the horny plate and the bone may be damaged, or even separated from the muscles and ligaments, resulting in dislocation of the carapace. In addition, the tortoise shell may be dislocated due to uneven growth. If a certain part grows faster than other parts, the horny plates and bones in this part will separate, resulting in dislocation of the carapace.

3. The influence of dislocation of carapace.

Tortoise shell dislocation will have a great impact on their lives. First of all, the dislocation of the carapace may lead to the imbalance of body temperature and water balance of the tortoise, which is more vulnerable to natural enemies. Secondly, the dislocation of the carapace may restrict the tortoise's movement, even lead to inconvenience in movement and decline in the quality of life. Finally, the dislocation of crustaceans may also affect the growth and reproduction of turtles, leading to the decline of their fertility.

4. How to avoid dislocation of carapace?

In order to avoid tortoiseshell dislocation, we need to pay attention to the following points. First of all, in the process of feeding and managing turtles, it is necessary to avoid hurting their carapace. Secondly, we should regularly observe the changes of tortoise shell, and deal with the problems in time when they are found. Finally, it is necessary to provide a suitable living environment for soft-shelled turtles, including temperature, humidity, space and nutrition, so as to maintain their health and growth.
