In order to breed good crocodile turtles, we must pay attention to the regulation of water temperature, and it is very important to maintain appropriate water temperature in their growth stage. Only by maintaining a suitable water temperature, can the crocodile turtle grow and develop better. Snapping turtles have a strong ability to adapt, and the water temperature can be maintained in the range of 20-33 degrees. However, the best growth water temperature for breeding crocodile turtles is 28-31 degrees, when they grow faster and more conducive to growth and development.
When breeding snapping turtles, the temperature should not be too low, and must reach the appropriate temperature to ensure their healthy growth. If the temperature is too low in winter, you can use a heating rod to heat properly and adjust the temperature. However, you can also use the heating rod to heat up, when the temperature drops below 10 degrees, let the snapping turtle naturally enter hibernation. Of course, the temperature should not be too low, not less than 5 degrees, so that they can safely winter.
Water temperature will not only affect the growth and development of snapping turtles themselves, but also affect the appetite of snapping turtles. When the water temperature is relatively low, the crocodile turtle's appetite will be poor, or even will not eat at all. Therefore, if you want them to have a strong appetite and eat more easily, you need to control the water temperature to the appropriate range. Generally speaking, when the water temperature is higher than 20 degrees, they are easy to eat, and if the water temperature is higher, their appetite will be better. The same is true after the end of hibernation, when the water temperature is higher than 20 degrees, they will start eating again, and when the water temperature is too low, the snapping turtles will be depressed and their appetite will be very low.
