Second, the shell shape is affected by feeding style. The owner should provide a varied diet such as high-quality turtle pellets, fish, and shrimp, and feed scientifically to avoid the turtle growing too fast or too slow. Finally, if the diamondback terrapin can be kept in an outdoor pool or large tank with ample natural light, clean water, and proper hibernation, it will be more beneficial for the shell's color development.
