Yellow-eared turtles cannot be kept in deep water all the time, although they are aquatic turtles, they can also live in deep water. But yellow-eared turtles breathe with their lungs and need to float to the water regularly to breathe fresh air. In addition, wild yellow-eared turtles also have the habit of basking in their backs. When the weather is fine, they will swim to the shore or lie prone on the Stone to bask in the sun. When breeding yellow-eared turtles artificially, it is necessary to prepare an amphibious environment for them, so that they can have a place to rest and bask in the sun. If you can't prepare for both environments, you should also provide a landing site in the water, so that they can swim quickly to the water for air.

As mentioned above, wild yellow-eared turtles will climb to the shore or Stone to bask in the sun when the weather is fine, so it is necessary to build a balcony for them when they are raised artificially. More sun exposure can not only promote their metabolism, but also promote their absorption of calcium, phosphorus and other substances, making their bodies stronger. Moreover, more sunshine can kill most bacteria on their body surface and reduce the occurrence of diseases such as rotten skin and abdominal A.

If breeders can't build a balcony, they can build a few stones to form a gentle slope, so that they can also climb up to rest and bask in the sun.
