The helmet mud turtles have no strict requirements on water temperature and water quality. When they are raised, they can grow normally as long as the environment is stable. However, they are sensitive to environmental fluctuations, so breeders need to avoid too large a temperature difference and pay attention to the water quality fluctuation. Although they are not strict with the environment, they have higher requirements for space. They need to grow better in a wide environment. When breeding, they need to be given sufficient space. They have the habit of drying their backs, and breeders need to set up a land environment for them in containers, so that they can climb up at any time.

1. Feeding: helmet mud turtles are carnivorous animals, and breeders can choose to feed some animal feeds, such as small fish, shrimp, earthworms and tadpoles. You can also feed some turtle food, but choose some turtle food with better quality. They don't like to eat vegetables, fruits and other foods, but in order to make them healthier, breeders can add a small amount to their food.

2. Water level: Helmet mud turtle has poor swimming ability and is not suitable for deep water culture. Breeders need to control their water level below their carapace, so that they can breathe conveniently. Even if land is set in the water, the height of water level should not exceed twice that of carapace, otherwise there will be the risk of choking water.
