Should grass turtles be kept in water? What environment is suitable for them?

Grass turtles need to be kept in water. Grass turtles are amphibians that breathe mainly through their lungs, but they can't survive on land for a long time. If they are left on land for a long time, they may die because of lack of water. In water, the change of temperature is relatively small, which is conducive to their healthy growth. At the same time, their physiological activities such as eating and defecating are also carried out in water, so they can not be kept on land for a long time.

1. whether the grass turtle should be raised

in the water or not. Because they are amphibians, they can not lack water. Living in the water, they will grow better. This is because the fluctuation of water temperature is smaller than that of air temperature, and living in water can make the temperature of their living environment more stable. Secondly, they eat and defecate with the participation of water, and they are accustomed to eating and defecating in water. Therefore, raising them in water is more conducive to their growth and health. Finally, their backs need to be moistened by water, otherwise they will be easily deformed. If they lack water for a long time, they may die. Therefore, it is necessary to keep grass turtles in water.

2. What environment is suitable for grass

turtles? Grass turtles are amphibians, mainly breathing by their lungs, so when raising them, they should not put too much water in the tank. Otherwise, they may die of lack of oxygen. Let the water just cover their backs. At the same time, their feeding and defecation are closely related to the water temperature, so it is necessary to adjust the water temperature. It is better to adjust the water temperature to 20-26 ℃ and keep it stable. It's better to put a stone in the jar so that they can lie on the stone to rest or dry their shells. The water in which they are raised has to be dried to remove chlorine from the water, otherwise it will threaten their health.
