1. It is better to raise map turtles dry or in water Map turtles are better to raise them in water. Although they are amphibian turtles and can live in both amphibious and terrestrial environments, they can only live on wet land and cannot survive in dry environment for too long. Even when they hibernate, they choose a damp and dark corner or cave. If they are raised on dry land for a long time, they are prone to stunting and their carapace is easy to deform, so it is best for breeders to raise them in water.
But after they suffer from diseases, the breeder needs to keep them dry, because they are not easy to recover in water after being infected with germs, and the breeder needs to put them in a dry environment to speed up their recovery, so it is best to keep them dry when they are sick.
2. How high is the water level of map turtles?The water level of map turtles is different at different growth stages. Normally, the water level in infancy needs to be shallower, so the water level can be controlled below the carapace, which will not affect their normal life. As they grow in size, the water level rises, and when they reach adulthood, the breeder can control the water level to twice the height of their carapace. If conditions permit, you can build a balcony or place a piece of driftwood in the container, so that they have a place to rest and bask in the sun.
