can the pig-nosed turtle be raised dry? The pig-nosed turtle is not suitable for dry raising. If you have to raise it dry, you should stick to it for 1-2 days at most. Because they live in the water all the time in the wild, they will climb to the shore unless they lay eggs, but they will return to the water immediately after laying eggs.
If the breeder keeps them dry for a long time, they will not be able to adapt to the dehydrated environment, and their bodies will become weaker and weaker. If they are kept dry for a long time, they are likely to die. If the breeder can provide them with enough water and keep the environment moist during the dry period, they can persist for a longer time. If they are placed in a place with strong sunlight after leaving the water, the time they can persist will be shortened.
in deep water? Pig-nosed turtles can be raised in deep water. When they are in the wild, they are in deeper waters. Usually, they live in waters with a depth of more than 1.8 meters, so pig-nosed turtles are very suitable for raising in deep water. When raising pig-nosed turtles, at least choose a container with a height of more than 0.5 meters, because if the water is too shallow, it will affect their growth and development, and they are likely to be stunted because the container is too small. Therefore, the best choice for breeding pig-nosed turtles is a tank with a height of about 0.5-1 meters, and deeper tanks can be used if conditions permit.
