The musk turtle can be bred artificially at home. Most species are relatively small, and it is very suitable as a pet turtle. It can be said that they are a kind of cold water turtle, which can be seen from the distribution latitude of their origin. Musk turtles are native to the Americas, mainly in higher latitudes, such as southern Canada and northeastern waters of the United States; They are also found in lower latitudes, such as the southeastern waters of the United States. Later, they were introduced to other continents and became more widely distributed in Asia.
For cultured musk turtle species, they can also live in cold water. However, water temperature has an impact on their life activities. If the water temperature is too low, it will lead to their reduced activity, they will often lie in the container do not love activities, the spirit is not very good; In addition, their appetite may also be affected and they do not like to eat very much. Therefore, if there are conditions in peacetime, it is still necessary to adjust the water temperature to more than 20 degrees, which is more beneficial to their growth and development.
Wild musk turtle can be said to be cold water turtle, living in cold water is no problem. However, if the water temperature is too low in artificial breeding, it will affect the activity and appetite of musk turtles. Therefore, ensuring water temperature is an important task in the process of aquaculture. When musk turtles are in the growth stage, they need to adjust the water temperature to more than 20 degrees, which is more conducive to their development. In winter, when the water temperature is below 10 degrees, they will enter a state of hibernation, at this time can not let the water temperature rise.
