Yellow-headed side-necked turtles need to be warmed, because they belong to tropical turtles, and their origin is high in temperature, so they also like warmth and are afraid of cold. Usually, you need to live at a water temperature between 24-28 ℃. However, most areas in China cannot reach this temperature all the year round, so when the temperature is low, they need to be warmed. In addition, the yellow-headed side-necked turtle has no hibernation habit, because its origin is high all the year round, and even in winter, the temperature is around 20 ℃, so when it is raised artificially, the water temperature should be kept above 20 ℃ in winter.
