? The Brazilian tortoise is suitable for water culture, because the Brazilian tortoise is a terrapin, and wild Brazilian tortoises live in water. If they are kept dry for a long time, they will easily suffer from water shortage. However, the water level should not be too deep for raising Brazilian tortoises, as long as it can cover the plastron, so that Brazilian tortoises will neither drown nor lack of water. Raising Brazilian turtles should also pay attention to water quality, it is best to change water 2-3 times a week, if it is raised with tap water, it needs to be dried for about a day before use. Or put stones or wooden boards in the breeding containers to create an amphibious living environment for them.
