Snapping

turtles are aquatic turtles. They like to live in the water, but they need about 40 minutes to go ashore for a breath. During the day, they like to bask on the shore or on the stones. Occasionally, they float on the water or sink at the bottom of the tank.

Snapping turtles are ferocious by nature, but they like a quiet environment. Their fighting capacity in the water is not strong. Generally, they only attack other animals or people on the shore.

2. Feeding methods

of snapping turtles 1. Temperature: snapping turtles are temperature-variable animals, which can adapt to water between 3-45 degrees Celsius, but their favorite water temperature is 20-3 degrees Celsius, so breeders had better control the water temperature above 20 degrees Celsius.

2. Water quality: Crocodiles like fresh water, so they need to change the water after each feeding. When changing the water, they should pay attention to cleaning the carapace. Because snapping turtles are different from other turtles in their carapaces, they have many prominent spines on their carapaces, and they are uneven, so they are very easy to hide dirt, so they should be cleaned with a soft brush every time they change water.

3. Food: Snapping turtles have a mixed diet and can eat all kinds of food. Breeders can feed more lean meat, fish and shrimp, animal viscera, and some vegetables or fruits.

4. Sunshine: Snapping turtles like a cool environment, but they need to bask in the sun for 2-3 hours every day, so breeders need to build a drying platform in the container to let the turtles have a place to bask in the sun.
