in shallow water? Adult musk turtles cannot be kept in shallow water because they like deep water and they live in deep water when they are in the wild. If they are raised in shallow water, their carapaces will be deformed, and the water quality of shallow water is easy to deteriorate, so it is better to raise adult musk turtles in deep water. Newborn musks can be raised in shallow water, because they are weak and physically weak, unable to swim from deep water to the surface to breathe, so they need to be raised in shallow water. But as they grow in size, the water level at which they are raised gradually increases.
is the water level of musk turtles? Musk turtles belong to deep water turtles. They can live in deep water environment, so they can be raised in deep water when they are raised artificially. Although they are deep water turtles, the water level should not be too high, preferably not more than four times the height of their carapace, otherwise they will be nervous, fearful, sensitive and so on. Therefore, the water level of young musk turtles should be controlled between 5 and 10 centimeters, and the water level of adult musk turtles can be controlled between 20 and 30 centimeters. After they enter hibernation, the water level can be lowered, because if the water level is too deep, it will affect their hibernation, so the breeder only needs to ensure that the environment where they hibernate is moist.
