The small snapping turtle is a kind of snapping turtle, and the snapping turtles are all terrapins. Wild snapping turtles usually live in the water for a long time and do not often climb to the shore. Therefore, they do not bask in the sun is also possible, will not cause harm to their body. In addition, because their own resistance and adaptability is better, not basking in the sun will not have a great impact on their health.
Although wild snapping turtles generally do not need to bask in the sun, if they are bred artificially, they can be allowed to bask in the sun appropriately. Appropriate light can eliminate some harmful bacteria on their carapace, which is conducive to the health of small snapping turtles. In addition, light can also promote the absorption of vitamins and calcium and other nutrients by small crocodile turtles, which is conducive to the growth and development of small crocodile turtles. However, it should be noted that the small snapping turtle does not need to be sunned every day, and the light should not be too strong.
As mentioned above, if small snapping turtles are bred artificially, they can be properly exposed to the sun, but they do not need to bask every day, and the time does not need to be too long. Considering that they do not need to be exposed to the sun very often, the back drying table is not a necessary item. They can be taken out of the container regularly to bask in the sun for a while, and then put back, which is not particularly troublesome. However, if you don't want them to go out of the container, you can also put a drying table in the container, which is more convenient, because the small snapping turtles can climb directly to the sun. In summer, we should pay attention to avoiding too strong light.
