1. Is the crocodile turtle a tortoise or a water turtle The crocodile turtle is a water turtle, because the wild crocodile turtle lives in the water for a long time, and they will not leave the water under normal circumstances except for reproduction. In addition, crocodile turtles are not only water turtles, but also like to live in deep water. An adult crocodile turtle can move in water for 3 hours without taking a breath.
Tortoises prefer to move on land. Although some tortoises can survive in water, they cannot survive in deep water. Because of their poor swimming ability, they are prone to choking or other discomfort in deep water. In addition, tortoises prefer to bask in the sun. The habits of crocodile turtles are similar to those of water turtles, but quite different from tortoises, so they belong to water turtles.
2. Whether crocodile turtles are well raised in water or dryIt is best to raise crocodile turtles in water, because they all live in water when they are in the wild. In order to better restore the wild environment, it is best to raise them with water when they are cultured artificially. If conditions permit, it is best to breed them in deep water, so that they can develop their carapace better.
If breeders want dry breeding, it is best to wait for their organs to mature after they reach adulthood. At this time, dry culture will not have much influence on their growth and development. Although they can be raised dry, breeders should soak them in water for a period of time every day, otherwise long-term dry raising will affect their health.
