Pet Question

In my country, individual tortoise species are not allowed to be kept. For example, Burmese tortoises, Egyptian tortoises, Hermann's tortoises, Sulcata tortoises, etc. cannot be kept by individuals. Only aquatic turtles and semi-aquatic turtles can be legally kept, such as Brazilian turtles, tortoises, snapping turtles, pearl turtles, map turtles, flame turtles, etc.

Which tortoises are allowed to be raised in China

It is not impossible to raise tortoises in my country, but individual breeding is restricted. Only specialized breeding institutions with legal certificates can breed them. . However, the requirements for this type of certificate are generally higher. All requirements must be met in terms of breeding sites, personnel, health and epidemic prevention, breeding technology, etc. before a breeding license can be applied for. Generally, only zoos, research institutes, breeding farms, etc. can successfully apply for it. Only breeding institutions that use it as food can apply for a breeding license.
