Can in deep water? Grass turtles can't be raised in deep water, because grass turtles are not terrapins. They are a species between terrapins and semi-terrapins, and their swimming ability is not very strong. If they are kept in deep water, they are likely to lose their strength or drown, so they are not suitable for keeping in deep water. But grass turtles can't be kept dry because they can't live on land for a long time, so breeders need to decide the water level according to their size.
is the water level of the grass turtle? The water level of the grass turtle depends on their size. If it is a small grass turtle, the water level should be below the plastron. Because the physical strength and physique of young grass turtles are relatively weak, if the water level is too deep, it is easy to choke and other dangerous situations, so the water level can only be controlled below the abdominal armor. The water level of adult grass turtles can be slightly raised, above the carapace or leaking a little carapace. Grass turtles need to live in the water, but they also need to bask in the sun regularly. Breeders can build a drying platform in the water so that they can climb up to bask in the sun and rest by themselves. Or take them out regularly every day and let them play on the ground for a while, which can effectively promote their growth and development.
