The striped mud turtle is a kind of turtle that can be raised artificially. In the process of raising them, attention should be paid to the problem of water level. The striped mud turtle can be classified as a deep water turtle. This can be seen from their distribution in the wild waters. The striped mud turtle spends most of its time in the water and does not come to shore very often. Moreover, they are distributed in relatively deep waters.
Therefore, if they are raised in captivity, they can also be raised in slightly deeper water. If they use too shallow water, they may have difficulty turning over in the water, which may lead to accidents. Of course, the water level is not necessarily too high. Especially for newly bought striped mud turtles, because they are in the stage of adapting to the environment at this time, if the water level is too high, they are easy to choke water.
As mentioned above, the striped mud turtle can live in deep water. Specifically, the height of the water level can be adjusted so that the striped mud turtle can easily contact the air on the water surface after straightening its neck, which is more appropriate. With the increase of their size, the water level also needs to be adjusted accordingly, and pay attention to the adjustment when changing water. When they grow up, they can fix the water level at a certain height and change the water to this height every time.
a special period is when the striped mud turtle is in the juvenile stage, when their water is not very good, and their swimming ability is not very strong. Therefore, a stepping stone can be placed in the water at the same time, so that there is basically no problem.
