grass turtles are not afraid of water, they are semi-water turtles, and they usually move in water most of the time. Although their swimming ability is weaker than that of water turtles, wild grass turtles can also move normally in water. If the grass turtle is afraid of water, it may be that the water quality is too poor. It is best for the breeder to change the water in time to keep the water quality clean. It is also possible that the water temperature is too low or too high, so it is best for breeders to keep the water temperature at about 25 ℃.

The water level suitable for different growth stages of grass turtles is also different, so it is best for breeders to decide the water level according to their body shape. The water level of grass turtles is lower in their infancy, because they are just born, have poor physical strength and swimming ability, and have poor adaptability to the environment. Too deep water level will not only make them choke and drown, but also make it difficult to control the water temperature and water quality.

With the growth of grass turtle size, the height of feeding water level will also increase. When they mature, the height of water level can be controlled at 1-2 times the height of carapace. Because the grass turtle's physical strength and swimming ability will become stronger in adulthood, and its adaptability to the environment is stronger, there is no need to strictly control the water temperature and water quality.

Although grass turtles can live in relatively deep water as adults, breeders can't live in too deep water. If the breeder wants to raise with deeper water, he can build a balcony or gentle slope in the container.
