. The musk turtle is a cold water turtle. It can live in cold water all the time, and its cold resistance is better. Although cold water will affect their growth and development, it will not endanger their lives. If the temperature is below 10 C, they will go into hibernation. But when the temperature is below 0 C, they can't last for a few days, especially during hibernation, when the temperature is too low, they will freeze to death directly. Many breeders think that they don't need to be taken care of after hibernation. This idea is wrong. When the temperature is below 0 C, breeders need to raise the water temperature to prevent them from freezing to death.
. Although musk turtles are cold-water turtles and can live in cold water, in order for them to develop better, breeders still need to keep the water temperature between 21-26 degrees Celsius. Because in this temperature range, their appetite and metabolism are the strongest, so their growth and development are also the fastest. If the water temperature is too low, it will affect their activity and food intake. If the temperature is too high, it will also make them uncomfortable. In the summer, keepers can use fans or ice cubes to cool them down, or they can move them to air-conditioned rooms to keep the temperature stable.
