pearl turtles are water turtles, which can be raised in deep water. However, pearl turtles in infancy can't be raised in deep water, because small pearl turtles are small in size, poor in physical strength and swimming ability, and their adaptability to the external environment is also poor. If they are raised in deep water, it is difficult for them to swim to the water quickly to take a breath, and they may choke and drown. When they are adults or mature, they can be farmed in deep water. Although pearl turtles can survive in deep water, they can't live in deep water either. Breeders need to decide the water level according to their size.

The suitable water level height of pearl turtles is different at different growth stages, and the breeder needs to decide the water level according to their body shape. If it is a juvenile pearl turtle, it is best to keep it in shallow water. Because they are just born and have no strong adaptability to the environment, it is best for breeders to keep the water level consistent with the height of their carapace. As they grow in size, breeders can raise the water level to twice the height of their carapace. If you want to raise them at a deeper water level, you can build a balcony or gentle slope in the container, so that they can freely choose the water level of their life.
