Before breeding the yellow-headed side-neck turtle, we need to know their attributes, so as to better regulate the water level and promote their growth and development. The yellow-headed side-neck turtle is a deep-water turtle, which can be seen from the distribution waters of the wild yellow-headed side-neck turtle. They are often distributed in rivers and lakes, living in deeper waters, and they do not often come to shore, most of the time will stay in the water.
If the yellow-headed side-neck turtle is cultured artificially, it can also be cultured in deep water. However, considering that yellow-headed side-necked turtles are prone to drowning in deep water if they are too young, it is better to breed small turtles in shallow water. When the length of the yellow-headed side-neck turtle reaches 10 centimeters or more, they can live in deep water without harm.
As mentioned above, the yellow-headed side-necked turtle belongs to the deep water turtle and can live in deep water. However, when the yellow-headed side-neck turtle is in the juvenile stage, it can be raised in shallow water, slightly below the height of its back, to avoid accidental drowning in deep water. When the length of the yellow-headed side-neck turtle reaches 10 centimeters, or even has grown up, it can be cultured in deep water. Specifically, the water level can be between 2 and 3 times the height of their back shell, if the water is too deep, it is more troublesome to change the water, so there is no need to be too deep.
In addition, attention should be paid to the artificial breeding of yellow-headed side-necked turtles, so that they can not stay in deep water all the time, it is best to let them bask in the sun, and it is more convenient to put a drying table in a container.
