are shallow terrapins, because most of them live in canyons, streams, rivers or lakes, but sometimes they climb into wet mountain streams, rice fields or grass, so they belong to shallow terrapins. Although money turtles are terrapins, they need amphibious life, because they need to climb out of the water regularly to breathe, but also regularly bask in the sun, so it is best to build a drying platform for them when they are raised in captivity, so that they have space to move. When the weather is hot, they also need to build shade to avoid dehydration.
is the water level of the money turtle? The water level of the money turtle should be controlled below the carapace or just over the carapace. Because they breathe with their lungs, they need to climb out of the water regularly to breathe. If the water level is too deep, they will not be able to breathe in time, and they are prone to choking or drowning. And the water level of young money turtles is even lower, it is best to control below the plastron, because young money turtles are weak, swimming ability is not strong, if the water level is too deep, it is easy to cause their death, so the water level is controlled below the plastron, they can breathe as soon as they look up, which can effectively avoid choking or lack of physical strength.
