? Brazilian tortoises sleep, and their schedules are very similar to those of humans. A healthy Brazilian tortoise rests at night and eats and moves during the day. Usually, if the surrounding environment is quiet, they will take a rest when they are basking in the sun. And they are more sensitive to light, if the lights are on all the time, even at night they will not rest, so they should turn off the lights in time after nightfall to avoid affecting their rest. Brazilian tortoises usually rest underwater, and some float on the surface of the water. Breeders can put stones or boards in the containers to create an amphibious environment for them, which is more conducive to their growth and development.
can Brazilian tortoises sleep? Brazilian tortoises usually sleep for 4-7 hours. They usually don't sleep during the day. They only sleep when they are sick or tired. But the specific sleep also needs to be decided according to the different environment, for example, when the water temperature is low, the length of sleep will increase, and they can sleep 10 hours a day. If the water temperature is below 15 degrees, it is also possible to go straight into hibernation. If the water temperature is moderate, they usually sleep for 7 hours. If the water temperature is high, although the sleeping time will not change much, it will affect their sleep quality.
