grass turtles of 6-7 cm cannot be raised in deep water. Although they need to survive in water environment, they are still different from pure water turtles, so they cannot live in deep water. Moreover, they breathe with their lungs, and they need to swim to the water every once in a while to take a breath. If they are raised in deep water, they are prone to choking when swimming up. In addition, 6-7 cm grass turtles are not very big, and their physical strength is not strong. If the water is too deep, they are prone to choking or suffocating. If the breeder wants to raise the turtle in deep water, he can build a gentle slope or balcony at the bottom of the tank, so that the turtle can save some physical strength when climbing up.

As mentioned above, grass turtles are between pure water turtles and semi-water turtles. When we raise them, the water should be neither too deep nor too shallow. Generally speaking, it is best to raise water turtles when the water level is just above the carapace or leaks a little carapace. This will neither affect their swimming nor make them choke.

In addition, when raising grass turtles, it is best to build a balcony or gentle slope in the tank. Because grass turtles can't stay in the water for a long time, they need to bask in the sun regularly to ensure their health.
