? The Brazilian tortoise will drown. They are terrapins, but they can only live in shallow water because they breathe with their lungs. If the water level is too deep, they may choke or drown because of physical exhaustion. If you raise Brazilian tortoises at high water levels, do not put some decorations in the container that hinder them from climbing up, and try not to plant aquatic plants to avoid winding around the feet of Brazilian tortoises. If they are raised in shallow water, it is better to build a drying platform in the container so that they can rest or bask in the sun.
? Brazilian turtles like deep water when they swim, because deep water can promote their growth and development. But they like to be out of the water or in a dry place when they rest, so breeders can choose to keep them in deep water and then build a sloping drying platform in the container, so they can have both. However, it should be noted that large Brazilian tortoises can be kept in deep water because they have better physical strength and swim faster. Small Brazilian tortoises should not be kept in deep water, because they are likely to be physically exhausted on the way to swim, and are prone to choking or suffocation.
