When breeding the yellow-headed side-neck turtle, attention should be paid to the regulation and control of the water environment, and water temperature is one of the more important aspects. To better control the water temperature, we need to know whether the yellow-headed side-neck turtle is a cold-water turtle or a hot-water turtle. Cold water turtles and hot water turtles have different requirements for water temperature, and their habits are quite different. The yellow-headed side-neck turtle belongs to a kind of hot water turtle, so the requirement for water temperature is relatively high, and it can not live in very low temperature water.
If they stay in cold water for a long time, their appetite will be reduced, and their activity will not be high, they will stay in a corner all the time, or swim slowly. If the water temperature is lower, it may affect their health and even directly lead to their death. Therefore, we must pay attention to the regulation of water temperature in the process of aquaculture.
As mentioned above, the yellow-headed side-neck turtle belongs to a kind of hot water turtle, which has a relatively high requirement for water temperature. Specifically, the water temperature can be kept between 24 and 28 degrees, which is more appropriate in this range, or about 30 degrees, but it is not necessary to be too high. In spring, summer and autumn, most of the time the water temperature is more appropriate, only in early spring and late autumn, the temperature will be lower, at this time can be properly adjusted with a heating rod, try not to be lower than 20 degrees, otherwise it will affect the growth rate of yellow-headed side-neck turtles.
a special period is winter, when most turtles will hibernate, but the yellow-headed side-necked turtle does not need to hibernate, so it can always keep the water temperature above 20 degrees, without letting them enter the state of hibernation.
