Can ? Snapping turtles can drown. Snapping turtles, like other turtles, will drown if they live in water for a long time. This is mainly because snapping turtles breathe with their lungs and can't breathe outside air after staying in the water for a long time. Snapping turtles belong to reptiles, which need a combination of dry and wet environment. If they are always raised in water, their physique will deteriorate. The best way to raise a snapping turtle is to put a big stone in the container, or build a small drying table for it, so that it can bask in the sun, so that the body of the snapping turtle is good.
? If the temperature is too low, snapping turtles will freeze to death. When the water temperature is below 0 C, the snapping turtle will freeze to death. Turtles are known to hibernate, and so are snapping turtles. When the water temperature is below 15 C, the snapping turtle will choose to hibernate.
should we pay attention to in the hibernation of snapping turtles? 1. The inside of the container for raising snapping turtles should be covered with thick wet sand, which should be covered with newspaper, so that the moisture can be locked in, and the snapping turtles themselves will go into hibernation.
2. In the process of hibernation, we should pay attention to replenishing water to keep sand and newspaper moist.
3. If the prepared wet sand snapping turtle can't get into it, don't bury it in the sand by force, you can put it in shallow water. Cover it with a layer of wet cotton yarn, which can not only moisturize, but also keep warm.
