How big a tank does snapping turtle need to raise depends on their body shape, and different species of snapping turtle have different body lengths in adulthood. Generally speaking, crocodile turtles have the largest body length, which is about 60-70 cm in adulthood, and some of them are well developed, and their body length can grow to 80-100 cm.
Breeders need to prepare at least one tank about 120-180 cm for them to move normally. Small snapping turtles are smaller in size, and their body length is about 30-40 cm in adulthood, so they need smaller containers, and breeders only need to prepare a tank of 60-90 cm for them. If conditions permit, they can be prepared with larger tanks, so that they will have more room for movement and grow bigger.
2. What kind of tank to raise crocodile turtlesAlthough crocodile turtles have high requirements on the size of containers, they do not have high requirements on the material of containers. As long as the surrounding water temperature and water quality are comfortable, they can survive well. If breeders don't consider ornamental, they can raise in plastic pots and storage boxes. If breeders consider ornamental, they can use glass jars to breed. Breeding in glass jar can not only enhance the ornamental value, but also observe the change of water quality more conveniently.
