1. Where

do snapping turtles live? Snapping turtles are native to South America, mainly in the northeastern United States. With the improvement of species, snapping turtles are also common in China. Large snapping turtles are not widely distributed in China, while small snapping turtles are very common, such as Beijing, Shanghai and other provinces. Small snapping turtles belong to reptiles and are aquatic animals. Snapping turtles need a combination of dry and wet environment. Snapping turtles are fierce and aggressive. Snapping turtles spend most of their time in the water and a little of their time on land. When feeding snapping turtles at home, it is better to put a large stone in the container or build a drying platform to keep the snapping turtles out of the water for a period of time.

2. What environment

does the snapping turtle like? 1. Water temperature: The snapping turtle lives in the water temperature of 20-30 ℃, which is more suitable. When the water temperature is low, the snapping turtle will choose to hibernate to protect itself. The best way to raise snapping turtles is to equip them with heating rods and turn them on in time when the water temperature is low.

2. Illumination: The snapping turtle has the habit of basking in the sun. It's better to give it a proper exposure to the sun at ordinary times. It's OK to bask in the sun for about 3 hours every day. The sun should shine obliquely.

3. Space: The size of the snapping turtle is relatively large, so it is best to choose a place with sufficient space to raise it. The space should be enclosed so that the snapping turtle can avoid hurting people.
