The grass turtle is an aquatic animal, but sometimes it will go ashore. Wild grass turtles like to move around lakes, ponds, streams and reservoirs. They usually stay in the water during the day, but they also climb to the shore for a while. During this time, they will look for some big stones or stumps and lie on them to bask in the sun.
In summer, when the weather is hot, they will flock to find shade. This kind of turtle is very sensitive to the change of water temperature, when the water temperature is below 15 C, it will enter hibernation. When the water temperature rises above 15 degrees Celsius the next spring, they will wake up and resume their activities. Can
in water? Grass turtles are semi-aquatic animals and can live in water. But they can't just live in the water, they also need to go ashore. Therefore, if you want to breed this kind of turtle, you should choose a large breeding tank and provide them with a terrace where they can bask in the sun. Although they spend most of their time underwater, the water level in the tank should not be too deep. It is better that the water level can just cover the limbs of the grass turtle, so that their heads can be exposed to the water. If the water level is too high, it may cause them to drown.
Aquaculture tanks should be placed in well-lit and well-ventilated places as far as possible. This kind of tortoise is docile and generally does not fight. They do not have high requirements for the environment and are easy to raise.
