2. Water temperature: Spotted pond turtles have higher requirements for water temperature, and their origin is subtropical region, so they need to keep the water temperature between 22-30 ℃ in order to survive better. If conditions permit, the breeder can keep the water temperature at 25 ℃. After they hibernate, breeders also need to control the water temperature between 10-14 ℃ to ensure that they can hibernate normally.

3. Water quality: Spotted pond turtle has low requirements on water quality, so breeders only need to change water frequently to ensure that the raised water is clean and refreshing. If conditions permit, the water quality can be adjusted to be weakly alkaline.

4. Feeding: Spotted pond turtles are omnivorous turtles, but they like animal feed. Breeders can feed them more small fish, shrimp, lean meat, animal viscera and so on. At ordinary times, they should be fed some plant feed or synthetic feed regularly to ensure their balanced nutrition.

spotted pond turtles need to bask in the sun, especially in the critical period of their growth and development. Giving them more sun can effectively promote their growth. Moreover, more sun exposure can kill most bacteria on their carapace and promote the absorption of calcium. If natural light is insufficient, light can also be used to supplement it.
