When breeding snapping turtles, we need to know their attributes first, so that we can better adjust the environment in the process of breeding. Terrapins and tortoises are two kinds of turtles with different habits and characteristics. The snapping turtle is a terrapin, as can be seen from its native range. Snapping turtles are native to North America, and they are most widely distributed in the southeastern waters of the United States. They spend a long time in the water, and even do not climb to the shore for a long time.
Therefore, if the artificial breeding in the home, then also need water. There are many problems that need to be paid attention to when raising water. For example, the water level should be neither too high nor too low, and it is more appropriate to keep it at about twice the height of their back shell. For example, water quality, need to change water regularly to maintain water quality, can use tap water, but need to be used after drying.
The above has been introduced, the crocodile turtle belongs to a kind of terrapin, so if the artificial breeding, then the best way to use water. However, some farmers may feel that it is more troublesome to change water and regulate water level when raising water, so they want to do it. Dry rearing is also possible, but snapping turtles can not remain in the water. Even in dry farming, snapping turtles need to be kept in the water for a period of time every day, at least half an hour a day. If they are kept dry all the time and do not use water at all, they may also cause harm to the growth rate and health of snapping turtles. However, in some special periods, it is necessary to dry raise, such as when the crocodile turtle is sick and can not be treated in the water.
