Musk turtles can be raised in deep water. They are deep water turtles. In natural state, they grow in deep water. Although they can also be raised in deep water in family breeding, it is important to pay attention to the water not too deep. Especially in their infancy, the water level is generally controlled not to exceed four times the height of their carapace.

If the water level is too deep, they become very sensitive and irritable, and may attack other turtles. In addition, they may not climb out of the water, resulting in suffocation. Although they live in water, they breathe through their lungs and cannot stay in water for a long time. When raising them, it is best to put some decorations in the water as platforms to help them climb out of the water.

Musk turtles are freshwater turtles, and there are many choices of water for raising them. One of the most commonly used is tap water, which is convenient to use and clean, and is liked by many people, but attention should be paid to chlorine removal before use. The most suitable temperature for their growth is between 20-28 ℃, and a heating rod can be placed in water to control the temperature within the range suitable for their survival. They are suitable for living in neutral water, so when changing water for them, we should pay attention to the pH value of the water. Excessive acid and alkali will cause harm to them. The most important thing is the water quality. When raising them, we should change the water frequently to ensure the clean water quality.
