Although the intelligence of tortoises is not very high, but it is still a little bit. The Brazilian red-eared tortoise has one of the highest IQs in the world. The Brazilian tortoise is easy to keep and inexpensive, and is now one of the most popular pets.
The Brazilian tortoise, also known as the Brazilian red-eared tortoise, has two characteristics: ① The appearance of this tortoise is not ebony, but rather colorful. The head is red or longitudinal light green stripes, the regular geometry of the back is dark green, the shape of the turtle’s shell is like butterfly wings, and the abdominal nail text is a pattern of yellow, white and black. However, the pattern varies from turtle to turtle; ② Flexible movement, it is more mobile and faster than the average turtle.
Some data show that it takes about a week or a month for a Brazilian red-eared turtle to start recognizing people.
If you buy a young Brazilian tortoise, keep it since it is small and feed it regularly every day, there is a good chance that it will remember its keeper. However, it is best not to change the breeder in the middle of the day, but to feed him personally and interact with him more often. You have to let it have time to get familiar with the difference between you and other people, it can know that you are the owner. Once it identifies you as the owner, it will be more comfortable to communicate and interact with you and follow your instructions.
In addition: after all, animals are very spiritual, so if you have kept a Brazilian tortoise for a while, it will recognize you. And some of them will show a close look with the owner – ① willing to interact with the owner; ② it won’t show resistance when you touch its head; ③ it will run close to the owner happily, its tail is straight and not shrunken in the shell; ④ it won’t bite the owner.
Because the turtle is a low-level animal, the external stimuli and self-needs are not as abundant as those of puppies and kittens. You can just see it sticking its head out and looking for food from its owner. And not afraid of the owner’s touch. When the pet is very suitable.
In fact, there are living species are the same, all need the usual emotional communication, over time, will naturally have feelings for each other
