When breeding the small crocodile turtle, the appropriate water temperature is very important to them, so we should pay attention to regulation. Adjusting the water temperature of the small alligator turtles can effectively enhance their activity and improve their appetite, which is beneficial to their own health and growth and development. The water temperature of small snapping turtles is generally 20-33 degrees. However, in the growth process of small snapping turtles, in order to grow fast, the most suitable water temperature must be controlled at 28-30 degrees.
Winter is a special period. The regulation of water temperature is also very important when the little snapping turtle enters winter. If the ambient temperature is too low, they can use heating rods to raise the temperature and keep it above 10 degrees, so they can survive the winter normally. However, it can also be heated without heating rods, so that small snapping turtles naturally enter a state of hibernation, so that they can survive the winter normally. When in hibernation, it is better to adjust the temperature to 5-10 degrees, not too low.
The small snapping turtle can enter the hibernation state in winter, or not. Whether it enters the hibernation state depends on the water temperature. If the age of small snapping turtles is relatively young, it is better not to let them enter the state of hibernation, because they are easy to die at this time, then the water temperature can be adjusted to the appropriate range, as in other seasons, normal maintenance can be. For older snapping turtles, they can be put into hibernation during the winter. As mentioned above, at this time, the water temperature can be maintained at 5-10 degrees, generally speaking, there is no need to heat, unless the water temperature is very low, such as when the container is placed outdoors.
