The water temperature raised at 40 ℃ is generally unbearable for crocodile turtles, although they have strong adaptability and can survive in the water temperature between 3-45 ℃. However, when the water temperature is 40 ℃, their body functions will be disordered. Although they can survive at this time, the water temperature of 40 ℃ has begun to endanger their lives. If they are kept at a high temperature of 40 ℃ for a long time, crocodile turtles are likely to suffer from heatstroke or death. If the water temperature for raising crocodile turtles is too high, it is recommended to replace new water immediately, or put it in an ice pack to reduce the water temperature to about 30 ℃.

As written above, crocodile turtles can adapt to a wide range of water temperatures, and can survive in the water temperature between 3-45 ℃. When cultured artificially, the water temperature can be kept between 20-33 ℃, and they can develop normally. Although they can tolerate low temperature, it is best for breeders not to control the water temperature below 15 ℃, because if the water temperature is lower than 15 ℃, they will go into hibernation. Although they can also withstand high temperature, breeders should not use too high temperature to breed them. The maximum water temperature of feeding should not exceed 35 ℃, otherwise they may also suffer from discomfort.

Crocodile turtles don't hibernate in the wild. If they go into hibernation in artificial breeding, the breeder doesn't need to keep the water temperature in too high a range, just keep the water temperature between 5-10 ℃.
