dry? The grass tortoise cannot be raised dry. Although they are an animal that can live in water and on land, they can breathe through their lungs. But you can't keep them dry for a long time. Because this will make them feel uncomfortable and cause them to grow and develop poorly. If the breeder dislikes the trouble of changing water, it is better to keep them in a humid place and bathe them once every 3-5 days to replenish some water.
. When raising grass turtles, we need to provide them with a suitable living environment. First of all, prepare a turtle tank of the right size for them, usually choose a turtle tank more than five times larger than them, so that the tank space is sufficient, they can swim freely in it. If they are too small, it will affect their growth.
Secondly, the temperature, water level and acidity and alkalinity of the water used to raise them should be appropriate. They are poikilotherms and prefer to live in water at around 20 degrees Celsius, where they are more vigorous. When the temperature is below 16 C, they will go into hibernation. They like to live in weak alkaline water with a pH of 7-7.5, which is too acidic or alkaline to corrode their shells. The water level at which they are kept should not be too high, just enough to submerge their shells, so that they can climb out of the water at any time and reduce the risk of drowning.
Finally, they should be provided with sufficient light, but not exposed to the sun, which can promote the development of their bones.
