In the process of raising the crocodile turtle, attention should be paid to regulating and controlling the water level. Therefore, we need to know whether they are deep water turtles first. The wild crocodile turtle is a deep water turtle, because the wild species generally distribute in deeper waters. If they are cultured artificially, they can naturally live in deep water. However, if artificial breeding is used, the water does not need to be too deep, which will lead to many troubles in the process of breeding. For example, changing water will be more troublesome, and the amount of water will be larger; The process of cleaning the container will also be more cumbersome; Moreover, it is not easy to take the crocodile turtle out of the container, and the crocodile turtle itself will consume energy when it floats to the surface.
As mentioned above, although the crocodile turtle can live in deep water, it is not necessary for the water to be too deep. Otherwise, it is not only unfavorable for the growth and development of the crocodile turtle, but also troublesome to change the water and clean it. Generally speaking, the water level can be adjusted to about three times the height of the back shell of the crocodile turtle. Under such water level conditions, it is more conducive to their development and will not damage their health. In the process of breeding, the water level should not be too high or too low, so as not to expose their shells to the water.
As the crocodile turtle grows, the water level can be adjusted accordingly. When snapping turtles are small, they can be raised in slightly shallower water. As their size increases, the natural water level will also rise. Reasonable regulation of water level in the process of aquaculture is helpful to their growth rate.
