the Brazilian turtle is a water turtle, it can not be raised in deep water, so it belongs to the shallow water turtle. Brazilian tortoises, like other tortoises, breathe with their lungs, so they come up to the surface regularly to breathe. Breeders can build a drying platform inside the container so that they can climb up to bask in the sun or rest. Because Brazilian tortoises have the habit of basking in the sun, but they can't bask in the sun for a long time, they can decide the time to bask in the sun by themselves. If you breed indoors, you need to install an ultraviolet lamp to irradiate for about 15-20 minutes every day.
family breeding? Brazilian tortoises can determine the water level according to their size. If they are minors, the water level can be below the plastron. Because the young turtles are physically weak and have a high frequency of breathing, if the water level is too deep, it will affect their breathing of fresh air, and if the water level is lower, it will make them breathe easily. If it is an adult Brazilian tortoise, the water level can be controlled above the plastron and below the carapace. Adult Brazilian tortoises will have stronger physical strength and lower ventilation frequency, so the water level can be relatively high, but the maximum should not exceed twice the shell, otherwise there will be choking or drowning.
