1. Can Brazilian tortoises be raised in deep water tanks Brazilian tortoises can be raised in deep water when they are adults, because they belong to aquatic tortoises and live in water when they are in the wild, so they can live in deep water tanks. Moreover, their swimming ability is relatively strong, and feeding in deep water can not only develop their carapace well, but also help develop their body shape.
Although Brazilian tortoises can be raised in deep water, breeders should not put them in too deep water, otherwise they will choke and drown. It is best to adjust the water level of Brazilian tortoises according to their body shape.
In addition, young Brazilian tortoises can't be raised in deep water, because they are newborn, small in size, poor in physical strength and swimming ability, and they may not be able to swim quickly to the water for air.
2. How high is the water level of Brazilian tortoise?The water level of Brazilian tortoise in different stages is also different. Generally, the water level of young tortoise is relatively shallow, which is generally controlled below the carapace. Because of the poor physical strength of young turtles, they can't adapt to too deep waters.
The height of the water level can be adjusted as they grow in size. When they are adults, the height of water level can be controlled at 1-2 times the height of carapace. Because the physical strength and swimming ability of adult Brazilian tortoises will be enhanced, they can also develop their carapace better in deeper water.
