The colors of snapping turtles are dark and light. If breeders like black snapping turtles, they should be raised in a black environment. Because Buddha crocodile turtles have the instinct to avoid danger, they will change their body color according to the changes of living environment, so that they can better integrate into the environment and avoid attacks and injuries. Breeders who want them to turn black should also avoid light, because light can also make their body color lighter. In the process of breeding, it is necessary to cover the container with a black box or a black cloth to prevent them from seeing sunlight. If it is a young Buddha crocodile turtle, it can turn black in a few months. If it is an adult crocodile turtle, it will take 2 years to turn black.

As mentioned above, snapping turtles will change their color according to the change of environment, so if they want to turn white, they can be raised in a white environment. If there are conditions, you can use glass jars; If there are no conditions, you can use storage boxes or foam boxes. But the foam box is not very hard, so it is best not to raise adult snapping turtles, otherwise they may break the foam box. In addition to raising them in a white environment, they can also be exposed to the sun regularly, which can also make their colors become whiter and whiter. If you can't receive natural light, you can install highlighted white lights instead of natural light.
