The crocodile turtle can be raised artificially, and attention should be paid to adjusting the water level in the process of breeding. Snapping turtles in the wild are a type of deep-water turtle because they live in deeper waters. However, if they are raised in captivity, the situation is different. Although snapping turtles can also live in deep water, the water does not need to be too deep. If the water is too deep, it will cause a lot of trouble, for example, when changing the water, it will be more troublesome, and the amount of water will be larger. Therefore, the water level is not necessarily too high. Of course, it can not be too low, so that its back can not be exposed above the water surface.
In addition, it should be noted that when the snapping turtle is in the turtle seedling stage, it can not be raised in too deep water, and it is more appropriate to use shallow water for breeding. Moreover, if there are some sunken wood, rockery or stones in the container, the water level can be adjusted to be higher, because the crocodile turtle can easily climb up to the surface without consuming too much energy.
As mentioned above, although the crocodile turtle can be raised in deep water, the water level is not necessary to be too high. Generally speaking, it is possible to control the water level at two or three times the height of the crocodile turtle shell. Therefore, the height of the water level is not certain and needs to be adjusted according to their carapace height. At first, it can be lower, and with the increase of their size, the water level needs to be raised accordingly, so it can be adjusted flexibly. In addition, water quality is also very important, while controlling the water level, we need to do a good job of water exchange.
