Snapping turtles are terrapins or tortoises

. Snapping turtles are terrapins. They live in deep water in the wild, and they don't even go ashore for a long time. Therefore, it is better to use deep water for family feeding, so as to restore the natural environment as much as possible. However, the water level should not be too deep, preferably 2-3 times the height of the carapace. The best way to raise snapping turtles is to use tap water after exposure to the sun, because the tap water just received contains a lot of chlorine, which will affect their health if used directly.
