Before raising the crocodile turtle, you need to know whether to raise it in deep water or in shallow water. First look at the habits of wild snapping turtles, their distribution is generally deeper than the waters, and will always stay in the water, rarely out of the water. Of course, there will also be crocodile turtles distributed in shallow water, overall, whether they are shallow water, or deep water adaptability is relatively good. If they are raised in captivity, they can also live in deep water, the depth of which can be between two and three times the height of their carapace, which is unnecessary and does not help the growth of snapping turtles.
However, when the snapping turtle is in the turtle seedling stage, the way of breeding will be different. Attention should be paid to the water at this time can not be too deep, the water level can not be too high, with a little shallow water to raise more appropriate, slightly not over their carapace on the line.
The above has been introduced, in the crocodile turtle in the turtle seedling stage, you can use a little shallow water to raise. Crocodile turtles are slightly more sensitive to the environment when they are younger, and if the water is too deep, it may cause them to consume more energy when they rise to the surface, or even drown in the process. But the water can't be too shallow, it can be near the height of their back armor, so that they can touch the air above the water surface as soon as they raise their heads.
With the increase of their size, the water can be deeper and deeper, and the water level can be reasonably regulated. After they grow up, it is better to raise them in deep water, too shallow water is not suitable, and the water level is 2 to 3 times higher than their back.
