1. Are snapping turtles deep-water turtles Snapping turtles are deep-water turtles. When they are in the wild, they like to live in deep-water areas such as streams, rivers, lakes and swamps. When cultured artificially, they can be placed in deep water. Although they belong to deep water turtles, they cannot be bred at too deep water level. Especially for young crocodile turtles, the water level should not be particularly deep.
Because they are newborn and have poor physical strength and swimming ability, breeders can keep the height of water level consistent with the height of carapace. When they are adults, they can be raised in deep water. Although they can move in deep water, the water level of breeding should not be too deep, and it can be kept at 2-3 times the height of the carapace, and the maximum should not exceed 3 times.
2. How to raise crocodile turtles1. Water temperature: Crocodile turtles have strong adaptability and low requirements for the environment, and can grow at a water temperature between 20-33 ℃. But the best temperature for them to grow is 25-28 ℃, and farmers can keep the water temperature in this temperature range if they want to accelerate their growth.
2. Water quality: Crocodile turtles do not require high water quality. Breeders only need to ensure that the water they live in is clean and fresh, and they can live normally.
3. Feeding: Crocodile turtles are omnivorous animals. Breeders can feed them with animal feed and plant feed, which can not only ensure their adequate nutrition, but also ensure their balanced nutrition.
