To raise small crocodile turtles artificially, a suitable container is needed first. Small snapping turtles are easier to raise, so the requirements for containers are not high. Moreover, they have strong adaptability to their surroundings. If breeders consider ornamental, it is recommended to use transparent glass jars. Because this can not only enhance the ornamental value, but also facilitate the observation of the environment at the bottom of the container and avoid bacteria breeding. If you don't consider the ornamental, there are more containers that can be used. Breeders can use storage boxes, plastic pots, water basins, etc., but they are large in size and highly active. Breeders need to prepare a large container for them, and the height should be more than 5 times of their size, so as to prevent them from climbing out of the container.

The small crocodile turtle is large in size, although it has strong adaptability and is not picky about the material of the container. However, if the container is too small, it will affect their growth and development, so it is necessary to give them a larger container when breeding.

Specifically, adult snapping turtles are about 30-45 cm long, and breeders should prepare them with at least a container 2-3 times larger than their size, that is, a container about 60-120 cm. If you want them to grow bigger, you should prepare a bigger container for them.
