Map turtles can't live in water for a long time, because they breathe with their lungs and need to float to the water regularly for air. And the map turtle is a kind of pond turtle, they like to live in slow or still water. When in the wild, I like to lie prone on wood and bask in the sun. Artificially bred map turtles can be raised in deep water, but they need to be exposed to the sun regularly, otherwise they are easily infected with bacteria. Breeders can build a balcony in the container, so that they can climb to the balcony to bask in the sun anytime and anywhere, which can not only kill bacteria on their carapace, but also promote calcium absorption.

Map turtles can't be raised dry. Although they can't live in water for a long time, they can't leave water for a long time, otherwise they will dehydrate and die. Map turtles usually leave the water only when they bask in the sun and hibernate, especially when they hibernate, they will choose a damp cave, and after hibernating in Allen Su, they will continue to enter the water.

If breeders want to raise map turtles well, they can build an amphibious environment in the container, which can ensure that they will not be dehydrated when they are exposed to the sun for a long time.
