The giant snapping turtle is a common deep-water turtle. It breathes through its lungs. In the wild, it has better lung function and likes to live in deeper waters. However, although they are deep water turtles, in family breeding, they should not be kept in too deep water, which will cause harm to them, especially in their infancy.
. If the giant snapping turtle is in a natural state, the water level can be as deep as possible, but not too shallow. It is better not to expose its carapace to the water. If it is a captive snapping turtle, then the water level should not be too deep, generally the best water depth is below twice their body height. In this way, they can put their heads out to breathe at any time. Especially in their infancy, when they are not well adapted and their bodies are not well developed, they are vulnerable.
As time goes on, their size will gradually increase. At this point, the water level needs to be adjusted according to their size. When raising them, you can put some stones, rockeries and other decorations in the water. This can not only increase the ornamental value, but also provide them with a foot cushion so that they can surface. If there are these decorations in the water, then the water can be a little deeper.
