There are many species in the egg turtle, most of which belong to the deep water turtle species. This point from their native area distribution is relatively wide, mainly concentrated in deeper waters, indicating that they can adapt to the deep environment. If they are raised in captivity, they can also be raised in deep water. However, when they are relatively young, they may not be able to adapt to deep water very well, and they can be bred in slightly shallower water at this time.
In addition, it should be noted that most of the egg turtle species are deep water turtles, but some species have poor adaptability to deep water, so the water level can be adjusted according to the habits of specific egg turtle species in the process of breeding.
Most of the egg turtle species are deep water turtles, and when they are raised artificially, they can be raised in deeper water. Therefore, the height of the water level can be adjusted according to their body shape, specifically, the height of the water level can be maintained between 3 and 5 times the height of their back shell. The water should not be too deep, otherwise the height of the container is relatively high.
In addition, attention should be paid to the adjustment of water level height in some special periods. For example, when egg turtles are relatively young, they can be kept in shallow water, not over their backs. Another special period is winter. When the egg turtle enters the hibernation state, the water does not need to be too deep, and it is also appropriate to raise them in slightly shallower water. Of course, you can also adjust the water temperature, at more than 20 degrees, egg turtles generally will not hibernate.
