should the snapping turtle put? The height of the water level of the snapping turtle depends on their size. Because they are terrapins, their swimming ability is naturally stronger, so the water level will be higher than that of ordinary tortoises. The water level of young snapping turtles can be controlled at twice the height of their body, because young snapping turtles are not fully mature, and their physical strength is relatively weak, if the water level is too deep, they may drown.
If it is an adult snapping turtle, the water level can be raised, because the size of the adult snapping turtle will increase, and the water level is higher for better viewing, so the water level of the adult snapping turtle can be controlled at about 2-3 times higher than the carapace. If there is enough space in the container, the breeder can set up a drying platform to give them a place to breathe or bask in the sun.
like clear and bright water, so they need to change water 1-2 times a week, half of the water each time. When changing the water, it is best to use a siphon to suck up the garbage at the bottom of the tank, and then add the dried water. When changing the water, you can use a brush to clean the back of the turtle, but wear gloves to avoid being bitten by the turtle. Snapping turtles usually do not need to change water after hibernation, but if the water quality becomes too poor, they also need to change water in time.
