? The musk tortoise will not drown as an adult, because they live in deep water when they are in the wild, and they have a strong ability to swim. Family breeding generally does not have too deep water level, so they will not drown under normal circumstances. But newborn musk turtles will drown if they are placed in deep water, because they are small and lack the physical strength to support them to swim to the surface for air, so they may choke or drown.
is the water level of musk turtles? Musk turtles belong to deep water turtles and can live in deeper water. Artificial breeding can control the water level. Especially for young musk turtles, the water level should be lower, preferably between 5 and 10 centimeters. Adult musk turtles can adjust the water level to 20-30 centimeters, but they can not stay in the water for a long time, they need to climb to the surface of the water every day to bask in the sun, so it is better for the breeder to build a drying platform for them in the container, so as to give them a place to rest. In winter, the musk tortoise will go into hibernation, when the water level can not be too deep, just need to provide them with a humid environment. Because they don't move when they hibernate, if the water level is too deep, it will hurt them.
