The water level of pearl turtle is different at different stages. If it is a pearl turtle in its infancy, it is best to raise it in shallow water. Because pearl turtles in childhood are small in size and poor in physical strength, if they are bred in deep water rashly, they can't climb to the water quickly, and may choke or drown.

Adult pearl turtles can be raised in deep water, because they are water turtles, and they have strong water quality and physical strength in adulthood, so it is better to raise them in deep water. Although they can move in deep water, breeders can't keep them in too deep water, and the water level can be controlled at twice the height of the carapace.

Different body types of pearl turtles have different suitable water level heights. Generally speaking, pearl turtles in their infancy are not strong in physical strength and swimming ability, and their adaptability to the environment is also relatively poor. The breeder can match the height of the water level with the height of the carapace, so that they can breathe normally.

When they reach adulthood, the height of water level can be relatively increased. Because pearl turtle itself belongs to water turtle, its water quality is relatively good in adulthood. Therefore, the water level of adult pearl turtles can be controlled at twice the height of their carapace, which can make them develop their carapace better without affecting their ventilation.
