Izintambo zasolwandle ziyamnandi ukubukela, ikakhulukazi uma zibukeka ngendlela ehlukile njenge-African Side-Neck turtle. Uma ungakaqageli, lezi zivunguvungu zibizwa kanjalo ngoba azikwazi ukubopha amakhanda abo ngaphakathi kwamagobolondo azo ukuze ziwabhekise eceleni. I-anatomy yabo ihluke kulokho okwenziwe umkhumbi wamanzi (ie Red Eared Slider ) ngenxa yezimpande zabo eziyingqayizivele yomlomo wesibeletho, izimpikiswano ezingaphezu kwamagobolondo abo, ngisho nezici zazo ze-skull.
Funda ukuze ufunde kabanzi mayelana nokunakekelwa kwalesi sifudu esithakazelisayo samanzi .

Izindlu ze-African Side-Neck
Ngakho-ke izintambo zase-Afrika yizivunguvungu zasemanzini zidinga itangi elikhulu lenhlanzi elizogcina amanzi. I-whip yakho kufanele ikwazi ukubhukuda iphinde idonse emathini abo ukuze i-tank ibe ngcono. Ngokufanele kufanele ube no-75 gallon aquarium (noma ngaphezulu) agcwalise 1/2 kuya ku-3/4 endleleni endleleni yamanzi. Idokodo elithambile noma amadwala amakhulu ahlinzeka umhlaba owomile futhi indawo ehamba ngayo ukuze ugibele emanzini ukuze usomile nawo adingekayo. Inhlanzi yehlanzi noma isanti isebenza kahle phansi kwethangi.
Imfucuza yamanzi ekhwalithi iyadingeka ngoba izinhlanzi zasemanzini zihlukumeza emanzini futhi ngaphandle kwesihlungi uzokwenza izinguquko zamanzi onke masonto onke, umsebenzi ozokugqugquzela ngokushesha ukuthenga isihlungi.
Abanye abantu bakhetha ukuhlunga i-canister kuyilapho abanye befana nezihlungi ezincane ezingaphansi kwe-submersible. I-tank enkulu, njengama-gallon angu-75, ukutshala izimali kumfutho we-canister yekhwalithi ngokuvamile kuyindlela yakho engcono kakhulu.
Ngaphandle kokugcina amanzi ahlanzekile kufanele uchithe amanzi ngamanzi ngokuwavumela ukuba uhlale amahora angu-24 ngaphambi kokuwuthela itanki noma ngokufaka isisombululo se-dechlorinating kuso.
I-pH ephakanyisiwe ka-6.5 (i-pH engathathi hlangothi) kufanele igcinwe futhi ingahlolwa kalula ngamapheshana okuhlolwa kwamanzi avela esitolo sesilwane.
Uma unezilwane ezifuywayo ezingakwazi ukungena ngaphakathi kwesikhumba sakho kufanele ube nesembozo somsakazo wesikhumba sensimbi ukuze ugcine i-tortle yakho iphephile kodwa uvumele ukuthi izibani zokushisa zivutha.
Ukukhanyisa nokushisa kwama-African Side-Neck Turtles
Njengazo zonke ezinye izivunguvungu , izintambo zase-Afrika ziyizilwane ezinwabuzelayo, hhayi izinhlanzi noma ama-amphibians. Ngakho-ke badinga ukushisa okunye ukuze balondoloze amazinga okushisa komzimba eceleni kwe-UVB imisebe ukuze kulungiswe kahle i-calcium ne-Vitamin D3. Kokubili ukushisa nemisebe ye-UVB engabonakali ingahlinzekwa kalula ngesimo samabala okukhanya okukhethekile esitolo sesilwane. Izibani ezishisayo zihluka ekutheni futhi kufanele zikhethwe ukugcina izinga lokushisa elingaba ngu-80 degrees Fahrenheit kanye nokushisa okuyizinga elingaba ngu-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Ukushisa akumelwe neze kwehle ngaphansi kwezingu-70 degrees, ngisho nasebusuku lapho ukukhanya kwe-basking kuvaliwe.
Imibala ye-UVB inikezwa njengama-light light fluorescent (kokubili ama-compact and traditional light tube) okufanele agcinwe emjikelezweni wokukhanya kwehora elingu-10 kuya kwangu-12. Ama-bulb kufanele afakwe ngamasentimitha angu-10 kuya kwangu-12 ukusuka lapho uhamba khona uhlala ngaphandle kwamanzi.
Lezi zibuko ezikhethekile ziphuma ekukhanyeni okubonakalayo okumhlophe eduze kweminye imisebe ye-UVB engabonakali. Le mibala engabonakali iyophelelwa yisikhathi ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisithupha ngakho kubalulekile ukufaka amabala akho we-UVB ngisho noma ukukhanya okumhlophe kuqhubeka.
Ukudla izifufula zase-African Side-Neck
Njengezinhlanzi eziningi zasemanzini , izintambo zase-Afrika ziyi- omnivores . Badla okuthile okutshala kodwa bayadla nezinambuzane, izinhlanzi, ama-crustaceans, nama-pellets emanzini ngenkathi bedonsa. Inyama (njengenkukhu nenyama yenkomo) akufanele neze idliwe ku-tortle yakho yamanzi. Ama-pellets kufanele ahlanganise ne-calcium namanye amavithamini namaminerali okudingwa yi-tortle yakho. Ukondla i-tortle yakho njengoba nje eyokudla esikhathini samaminithi angu-15-30 nsuku zonke yilokho akudingayo ngempela ngosuku. Susa ukudla okungenalutho ukuze kungaphazamise noma ukuvale isihlungi.
