1. Is it better to raise Buddha crocodile turtles in deep water or shallow water Buddha crocodile turtles in deep water, because they live in deep water when they live in the wild, which is also a kind of deep water turtle, so it is better to raise them in deep water when they are artificially raised. Because deep-water crocodile turtles can make their carapace develop higher, so that they will be more ornamental. If they are raised in shallow water, their activity space will be relatively small, and they may be bloated. If they are young snapping turtles, it is best to keep them in shallow water, because deep water will affect their ventilation rate.
Although the snapping turtle can be raised in deep water, it is necessary to control the height of the water level and do not need to be raised in too deep water. Otherwise, it is not only troublesome to change water, but also takes more physical strength on the way to take a breath, which is prone to choking and drowning.
2. How high is the water level of the crocodile turtle?The water level of the crocodile turtle should be neither too high nor too shallow. The breeder can keep the water level at 1-3 times the height of the carapace, which is not only beneficial to their growth and development, but also will not damage their health.
The specific water level of snapping turtles depends on their body shape. Generally, the water level of young snapping turtles is above or just below the carapace. With the growth of their body shape, the water level also increases slowly. When they reach adulthood, the water level is about 2-3 times the height of their carapace.
