1. Crocodile turtles are raised in deep water or shallow water Crocodile turtles need to be raised at different water levels at different growth stages. It is better for adult crocodile turtles to be raised in deep water, because wild crocodile turtles all live in waters with deep water levels, so they belong to deep water turtles. When raising artificially, it is best to raise them in deep water, so as to better simulate their native environment. If they are raised in shallow water, their carapace development will be affected.
At an early age, it is best to raise crocodile turtles in shallow water, because they are just born, have poor adaptability to the environment, and have insufficient physical strength. If they are raised in deep water, they will choke or drown.
2. How high is the water level of the crocodile turtle? As mentioned above, the water level of the crocodile turtle is different at different stages, which is described in detail below.1. Juvenile: The crocodile turtle in childhood lacks physical strength and swimming ability, so the height of water level can be controlled at 2 cm above the carapace or just below the carapace. In this way, they can breathe fresh air by raising their heads or standing on tiptoe.
2. Adult: If it is an adult crocodile turtle, it can be raised in deep water. However, the height of the water level should not be too high, and the height of the water level can be controlled at 2-3 times the height of the carapace.
