1. Do grass turtles like deep water or shallow water grass turtles like shallow water. They are not deep-water turtles, but live in shallow streams and rivers in the wild. Moreover, they breathe with their lungs and need to swim to the water regularly to breathe fresh air. If they are placed in deep water, it is difficult to swim quickly to the water for air. Especially in infancy, grass turtles have poor swimming ability and adaptability, so breeders need to put them in shallow water for activities. In infancy, the water level of grass turtles can be controlled below the carapace, and the water level can also increase as they grow in size. When they are adults, the height of water level can be controlled at 1-2 times of the height of carapace, and the maximum should not exceed 2 times.
Two, grass turtles prefer high temperature or low temperaturegrass turtles have strong adaptability and can survive in both high temperature and low temperature environment. However, the water temperature should not be too high when raising, because the water temperature is too high, which will cause various functions in their bodies, so the maximum water temperature should not exceed 35 ℃. The water temperature should not be too low, otherwise it will affect their appetite and activity, resulting in their slow growth and development. In the normal breeding process, the water temperature can be kept between 18-32 ℃. If conditions permit, the water temperature can be kept between 22-28 ℃. In this temperature range, their appetite and activity are higher, and their growth speed will be faster.
