The suitable temperature for Brazilian tortoises is 20-32 degrees. If the temperature is below 11 degrees, they will go into hibernation. If the temperature is below 6 degrees, they will go into deep hibernation. If the temperature is below 0 degrees, they may die directly. Higher temperatures can speed up their metabolism and increase their appetite. But when the temperature is higher than 36 degrees, they will stop eating. When the temperature is above 40 degrees, they will be very weak and die slowly.
The right temperature for the Brazilian tortoise, the right water level

1. Suitable temperature

for Brazilian tortoises The suitable temperature for Brazilian tortoises is 20-32 degrees. Breeders can adjust the water temperature to more than 22 degrees, which can improve their activity and appetite. If the water temperature is too low, they will not like to swim and eat less. When the temperature is below 11 degrees, they will go into hibernation, and when the temperature is below 6 degrees, they will go into deep hibernation. When

they hibernate, they don't eat, so they grow very slowly. If the temperature is too high, it can promote their growth and development, but if the temperature is higher than 36 degrees, they will refuse to eat, and if the temperature is higher than 40 degrees, they will have a high probability of death.

2. Suitable water level

for Brazilian tortoises The water level of Brazilian tortoises depends on their size. If it is a young turtle, the water level only needs to cover the plastron, because the swimming ability of the young turtle is not strong, if the water level is too deep, it is easy to choke. If it is an adult Brazilian tortoise, the water level can be controlled at 20-30 centimeters deep, because the adult Brazilian tortoise has increased a lot, and their swimming ability and physical strength are better, so a little water depth will not affect them. It is better to build a drying platform in the container for raising Brazilian turtles, because Brazilian turtles do not like to be in the water when they rest and bask in the sun, so the drying platform can let them get out of the water.
