Map turtles

are actually deep-water turtles. However, it should be noted that they cannot live in deep water all the time. If they live in deep water for a long time, they will have a hard time swimming to the top, which is not conducive to the health of map turtles. In the process of raising, attention should be paid to the water level, which needs to be adjusted according to their size. It is better to raise turtle seedlings in shallow water first, and then slowly deepen the water level after they grow up. When you put them in the water to hibernate in winter, you should pay attention to lowering the water level so that their noses are out of the water.
