are deep-water turtles. Their origin is North America. They live in deep water and generally do not climb to the shore. Therefore, snapping turtles belong to deep-water turtles. When raising snapping turtles at home, it is better to use deep water, which can simulate the natural environment and make them have a better growth environment. The water level of
snapping turtles can be determined according to their age and size. If they are newborn turtles, the water level should not be too deep, otherwise there will be risks of choking and drowning. For adult snapping turtles, the water level can be deeper because they breathe less frequently and hold their breath longer, but not more than three times the height of the carapace, otherwise there is a risk of drowning.
best raised in river water, because they live in rivers in the wild, but now many rivers are polluted, there will be a lot of chemicals in them, so they need to be filtered before using river water. If there is no river water, you can also use tap water, because tap water is more convenient, but tap water contains a lot of chlorine, which needs to be exposed to the sun for 2 days in advance. Snapping turtles should not change too much water at a time, up to half at a time.
