Pig-nosed turtles are best raised in a square transparent tank of 60 * 60 * 60 cm. Because of their large size, their adult size can reach 46-51 centimeters, and their weight is about 18-22 kilograms, so it is better to use a tank of more than 60 centimeters to raise pig-nosed turtles at home. If possible, pig-nosed turtles can be raised in tanks with a height of 1 meter, because pig-nosed turtles like to live in deep water, which will affect their growth and development if the water is too shallow.

sed turtles need

at least a square tank of 60 * 60 * 60 cm to raise, because their adult body length can reach 46-51 cm, and their weight will be 18-22 kg. If they are raised in a tank that usually raises fish, the width will not meet their requirements. Therefore, the breeder had better choose a square jar of more than 60 centimeters. If conditions permit, they can also use a square tank of about 1 meter, because the larger the space, the larger the place where they can move, which is also very helpful for their growth and development. And they like to live in deep water, if the container is large, it can also meet their requirements for water level.

2. How deep is the water

for pig-nosed turtles? Most wild pig-nosed turtles live in waters below 6 feet, which translates to 1.8 meters. Although it is difficult for families to reach this water level, it is at least 50 centimeters, because if the water level is too shallow, it will affect their growth and development. Living in shallow water for a long time, their back armor and body will be deformed. If conditions permit, the water level can be controlled at about 1-1.8 meters. Pig-nosed turtles are highly aquatic animals, and they generally do not leave the water except for breeding, so breeders do not need to build drying platforms for them. In summer, when the sun is strong, they should be properly shaded.
