Spotted pond turtles can't spend the winter naturally, because they have high requirements for water temperature. When hibernating, they need to keep the water temperature between 10-14 ℃. If the water temperature is too low, they may freeze to death. If the water temperature is too high, they will wake up from hibernation and suddenly wake up, which will affect their biological clock. When spotted pond turtles spend the winter, it is best for breeders to transfer them indoors, and then install heating rods in the cylinder to keep the water temperature between 10-14 ℃.
Can spotted pond turtle spend the winter naturally? Do you need heating at ordinary times 1. Can spotted pond turtles spend the winter naturally

spotted pond turtles cannot spend the winter naturally, because they belong to subtropical turtle species and have high requirements for water temperature. After they hibernate, the water temperature should be kept between 10-14 ℃. If the water temperature is too low, they risk freezing to death. If the water temperature is too high, they can't enter or Allen Su from hibernation. Sudden Allen Su of spotted pond turtles will affect their biological clock. Therefore, before they go into hibernation, the breeder needs to transfer them indoors and install heating rods to keep the water temperature between 10 and 14 ℃, so that they can survive the winter normally.

2. Do spotted pond turtles need heating at ordinary times?

spotted pond turtles also need heating at ordinary times. Many breeders think that they have strong adaptability, so they don't heat them. However, this way of feeding is wrong, because their origin is in subtropical areas, so their requirements for water temperature are relatively high. If the water temperature is lower than 20 ℃, it will affect their appetite and their growth and development. In the normal feeding process, it is necessary to use a heating rod to keep the water temperature between 22-30 ℃, and if conditions permit, the water temperature can be kept at about 25 ℃ all the time. In summer, breeders can regularly add ice bags or ice cubes to the breeding pool, which can effectively reduce the water temperature.
