Most of the body colors of musk turtles are black and brown. If breeders want to make their body colors lighter, they should prepare a light-colored environment, which can be raised in transparent glass jars or white plastic boxes. Musk turtles will change their color according to the changes in their surroundings, and their body color will become lighter over time. You can also replace the raised bottom sand, and you can replace the bottom sand with rice stones, which is best used with LED lamps or uvb lamps.

In addition, they should be exposed to the sun frequently in the process of feeding. The water temperature can also be higher, which can be controlled at about 28-30 ℃, and more foods should be fed to make them grow faster and their body color become lighter. In addition, they can be controlled to prevent them from hibernating. Because they don't hibernate for a long time, they can directly remove the hibernation time without affecting their health.

If you want musk turtles to grow faster, you must prepare enough food for them, so as to ensure adequate nutrition for their growth and development. It is also necessary to ensure the diversity of foods and avoid their single eating habits. In addition, it is best to raise the water temperature to above 25 ℃, which can improve their metabolism and accelerate their growth.
