Tortoises
Winter can be a testing time for pet ownership, with poor temperature regulation often killing pets, and in the case of tortoises, although they often hibernate during the winter months, thermal insulation is still essential, and excessively low temperatures may also cause death.
? Turtle insulation there are many ways, such as greenhouse turtle, as long as someone to watch, can effectively avoid the death of frozen, but the greenhouse is generally applicable to large-scale turtle breeding, for pet lovers is not applicable, then we can use a small temperature box at home to let the turtle peacefully through the winter, the temperature box of course, the temperature control equipment, so what are the common temperature control equipment? ? a, water-heated insulation equipment? Water heating insulation equipment is directly from the air temperature tank pool heating, through the water temperature conduction and make the whole temperature box to reach a constant temperature. This heating method of simple structure, mainly by the main unit and water tank composition. Construction of such temperature tanks in the construction of the difficulty of the water tank. Requirements for waterproof, heat preservation. Mainly used in insulation board type turtle warming box. The water tank factor should be considered before making the turtle warming box, and the design will be more scientific in advance. Water-heated turtle warming box heating directly, low energy consumption, high humidity. The created turtle warm box environment is beneficial to the growth of many turtles. ? Two, floor heating insulation equipment? Underfloor heating insulation equipment is by the air can heat the hot water to a certain temperature box, and then the hot water through the ground laying good floor heating pipe transfer to the turtle warm box. This heating method borrowed from the northern floor heating practices. By the heat source, floor heating pipe, temperature control and other major components. ? three, warm air insulation equipment Warm air insulation equipment is by the air will be the medium (hot water or snow) heated to a certain temperature, and then through the exchanger, the temperature of the medium will be passed to the warm box. This heating method is currently in the south is mainly by the host unit, water tank, fan coil and other major components. Host is currently the main energy-saving and environmentally friendly products such as air energy, solar energy, small boilers. Water tank is generally used to insulate the water tank. Fan coil style variety, according to different media and selected different products. Four, air conditioning heating equipment? Air conditioning heating equipment is to open the warm air mode, the warm box insulation. However, the air conditioning heating temperature is difficult to reach 30 ℃, and the temperature difference between the top and the bottom of the warm box will be larger, easy to make the turtle seedlings and commercial turtles raised in this environment sick. The air conditioner will be damaged due to long time overload work. Therefore, many owners give up using air conditioners for heating and use other efficient heating equipment. ? ? Five, ceramic heater (generally applicable to tortoise heating)? Ceramic lamp heater is a ceramic lamp resistance wire energized high temperature (at the same time and infrared radiation) heating the surrounding air, resulting in air convection in the holding tank. Ceramic heaters have high heating efficiency, long life and no light. As the ceramic heater relies on air convection to heat transfer, heating is more uniform, but make the turtle box humidity decreased significantly, so you can use to place a large water basin, to the bedding material spraying water and other methods to improve the environmental humidity. Of course, in the temperature control can not be adjusted too high, at the same time to buy temperature control equipment, do not buy three products, or may produce accidents, Mr. Huang, a farmer in Guangxi, found that the water temperature of the turtle tank is abnormal, 35 stone turtles all were scalded alive. View found that the "perpetrator" is a peace in Nanning City, shopping malls to buy computer intelligent temperature controller, the product is "three products". So, for the temperature control, but also need us to do carefully, can not be haphazard.
