The snapping turtle is a kind of terrapin, so if it is raised artificially, it needs to be raised in water. Therefore, the choice of water type is an important issue. If you have the conditions, you can use river water. Because snapping turtles themselves live in rivers, if they use rivers, they are more similar to the natural environment, in which they are easier to adapt. However, when using river water, we also need to consider whether it is polluted. If there are too many impurities in the river water, it also needs to be treated before use. The effect of lake water is similar to that of river water, which can also be used, but we should also pay attention to the problem of pollution.
If there is no condition to find river or lake water, they can only use tap water at home. However, you can not directly use the water from the tap, you need to dry it before you can use it.
The above has been introduced, if there is no river and lake water, you can also directly use the tap water at home. But the next water can not be used, because it contains chlorine and other substances may cause a certain degree of harm to the health of crocodile turtles. Studies have shown that if long-term direct use of untreated tap water to breed, crocodile turtles are prone to diseases, such as "white eye disease" and so on. Therefore, tap water can be used, but only after treatment. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to expose it to the sun, and it is relatively simple to operate. At least 2-3 days of exposure to the sun, after which the harmful substances will be removed, and then use the water to feed snapping turtles is more appropriate.
