Pig-nosed turtle is a kind of water turtle and cannot stay on shore for a long time. They can survive on shore for about a day at most. If they are kept on shore, they will soon die because of lack of water. They are a common ornamental turtle, which is loved by many people. When raising them, it is best to keep them in water 0.5-1 meter deep. They can live well at this depth, and the water should not be too shallow, otherwise it will lead to their stunting.

Although they can only survive for about one day without water, there are many precautions during this time. If you don't pay attention, it is easy to hurt them. The first thing to pay attention to is that they should be kept dry in a humid environment. They are water turtles, which need to stay in the water all the time, and their skin needs a humid environment. If they are placed in a dry environment, the moisture on their bodies will evaporate quickly, which will damage their skin.

Second, it should be noted that the light in the place where they are raised should not be too strong. They like to bask in the sun very much. When raising them, they need to be given a certain amount of light every day. But if the light is too strong, it will accelerate the evaporation of water on their body surface. Finally, it should be noted that when they are found to lose too much water, they should be put back into the water in time.
