The snapping turtle is a species of turtle with a very long history. At present, it is relatively widely distributed on all continents, and the same is true in China. Freshwater turtles and saltwater turtles are two different kinds of turtles. Snapping turtles are freshwater turtles, not saltwater turtles, as can be seen from their native waters. The origin of crocodile turtles in North America, mainly in the United States and other countries of rivers, lakes and other places, are fresh water, not distributed in the sea.
Therefore, considering that they are freshwater turtles, they also need to be raised with freshwater in captivity. Specifically, there are many choices. If conditions permit, river or lake water can be used to dispose of the impurities and then can be used. However, river and lake water will be more troublesome to use, so you can choose tap water at home.
The above has been introduced, crocodile turtles belong to freshwater turtles, from which we can understand their habits and characteristics. Therefore, they need fresh water when they are cultured. It is not suitable to use sea water, because sea water belongs to salt water, and the salinity is very high. If they are in the sea for a long time, it may lead to the phenomenon of inadaptability of crocodile turtles, which is not conducive to their development. Although the river and lake water is more suitable, but it is more troublesome to use, sometimes when changing water, there is no way to get it in time. Therefore, the tap water at home seems to be more convenient, but can not be used directly, need to use the sun after the use.
