The carapace of crocodile turtles is one of their most ornamental parts, and breeders need to breed them carefully to make their carapace look better. Specifically, we should pay attention to the following points:

1. Deep water culture: Whether the crocodile carapace can develop well or not, the height of water level is very important. Because shallow water is easy to deform their carapace, it is best to breed them in deep water after they are born for a period of time in order to make their carapace look good.

2. Maintain water quality: Water quality is also a key factor affecting the shape and color of their carapace. In order to make the carapace of crocodile turtles develop better, it is necessary to ensure that the water quality they live in is clean and refreshing. Usually, it is best to change it 2-3 times a week. After each feeding, the food residue is fished out, which can slow down the deterioration of water quality.

3. Get more sun: Although crocodile turtles don't have the habit of basking in their backs, they should be exposed to the sun regularly for artificial breeding. Because basking in the sun can promote them to absorb calcium, which makes their carapace harder and more beautiful in color.

4. Layout environment: Breeders can also arrange some sand and gravel or living water fountains in containers, so that their carapace will look better.

The crocodile turtle collapses its back, which may be caused by genetic factors, and there is generally no way to recover this situation. However, the natural collapse of their backs will only affect their ornamental effect, and will not affect their health.

If the back collapses the day after tomorrow, the breeder needs to adjust the water level. Because the water level is too low, it is easy to collapse the back, so it is best for breeders to control the height of the water level to 2-3 times the height of their carapace.
