The red-faced egg turtle belongs to a class of egg turtles. Most species of egg turtles belong to deep water turtles, which can live in deeper water. The process of breeding red-faced egg turtles in captivity also allows them to live in deep water. However, the water should not be too deep, and there is no need to be too deep. If the water is very deep, there will be a lot of trouble in the management, and the growth and development of the red-faced egg turtle itself is not helpful.
If you want to use deeper water to breed red-faced egg turtles, you must have a sunning table in the container, which can provide a platform for them to climb up to rest and breathe, so as to avoid accidents. Moreover, it should be noted that red-faced egg turtles can not stay in the water all the time, otherwise their carapace is prone to decay.
As mentioned above, the red-faced egg turtle can live in deep water, but if it is raised in captivity, there is no need to let the water level be too high. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to control 3-5 times the height of their dorsal shell, preferably not more than 5 times the height of their dorsal shell. If the water is really very deep, you can place a balcony in the container or aquarium for them to rest on, so that they can climb up.
Furthermore, when the red-faced egg turtle is still relatively young, that is, when it is in the juvenile stage, the water should not be too deep at this time, and it can be raised in appropriately shallow water. With the gradual increase of the size of the red-faced egg turtle, the water level can be raised slowly. After they reach adulthood, the water level can be fixed at a certain height, which can be maintained at this height when the water is changed.
