The artificially bred small crocodile turtles can prepare a balcony for them or not. Whether they want to balcony or not can be decided according to the individual wishes of the breeder. Small crocodile turtles belong to deep-water turtles. When they live in the wild, they all live in deep waters, and they have strong ability to resist diseases when they are adults, so it will not affect their health if they do not bask in the sun.
If there is enough space to raise them, they can also prepare a balcony, so that they can rest on the balcony and bask in the sun properly, which can kill most bacteria on their carapace and promote their absorption of trace elements, which is of great help to their growth and development.
2. Do small snapping turtles need heatingSmall snapping turtles generally do not need heating, because they have strong adaptability to the environment and do not have high requirements for the environment. As long as the water temperature is between 20-33 ℃, they can survive normally. But the most suitable temperature for them is 28-30 ℃. If breeders want to raise them well, it is best to keep the water temperature between 28-30 ℃.
After entering hibernation, the breeder does not need to keep the water temperature at such a high temperature, because they will enter hibernation in winter, so the breeder only needs to keep the water temperature between 5-10 ℃.
