Is the flower turtle a water turtle? How high is the water level suitable

Flower turtles are water turtles, while semi-water turtles and tortoises have poor swimming ability. If they are raised at a deep water level, they will drown. However, the turtle's water quality and swimming ability are relatively good, which belongs to the standard water turtle and can be raised in deep water. Although they are water turtles, they can also live on land. It is best for breeders to prepare an amphibious environment for them when breeding, and then prepare an extra balcony for them to bask in their backs.

1. Is the flower turtle a water turtle

The flower turtle belongs to the water turtle, because the swimming ability of the semi-water turtle and the tortoise is not strong, but the flower turtle has strong swimming ability and can survive in deeper water, so they belong to the water turtle. When they are in the wild, they inhabit ponds, streams, lakes and slow-moving rivers. They will climb to the shore to bask in the sun when the weather is good, and choose a cool and humid place to escape when the weather is hot.

Although flower turtles are water turtles, they also need regular sun exposure to make them grow healthier. When breeders breed, they need to build an amphibious environment, which can better simulate the native environment.

2. How high is the water level for flower turtles

As mentioned above, flower turtles are water turtles, so they can live in deeper water. However, the turtles in their infancy have poor physical strength, and the water level should not be too deep. The height of water level in childhood is consistent with the carapace. When they are adults, the water level can be raised a little, but the water level should not be too deep, otherwise they will suffocate or die. The height of the water level of the adult turtle is about 40 cm. If the breeder builds a balcony, the height of the water level can be raised a little, but the maximum should not exceed 50 cm.
