How deep is the water for raising Brazilian tortoises? It depends on their body shape, because different growth stages adapt to different water levels. Under normal circumstances, the water level of Brazilian tortoises in infancy is best controlled below the carapace. Because the adaptability of Brazilian tortoises in their infancy is poor, and their physical strength and swimming ability are not strong, they cannot be raised in deep water. If they are bred in deep water rashly, they may die.

With the development of their body size, the water level of feeding can also be raised a little. When they mature, the water level can be controlled at 1-2 times the height of the carapace. This water level is not only beneficial to the development of their carapace, but also beneficial to the development of their body shape.

Tap water, river water, lake water and well water can be used for raising Brazilian tortoises. These kinds of water have both advantages and disadvantages, and breeders can choose according to their actual situation.

1. Tap water: The advantage of tap water is that its water quality is clean and its access method is relatively simple. However, tap water also has disadvantages. For example, tap water is chemically disinfected, and chemicals are easy to remain in the water. Although it is harmless to human body, it will have a certain impact on Brazilian tortoises, so it needs to be exposed to the sun for a period of time before use.

2. Rivers and lakes: The advantage of rivers and lakes is natural water, which can better simulate the wild environment. Their disadvantage is that the water quality is not clean and they are easy to be polluted. Before use, it is necessary to make sure that there is no pollution, and then filter it clean before use.

3. Well water: Well water is relatively clean and chemical-free compared to river and lake water. However, well water is difficult to obtain, and the water temperature is low, so it is not easy to obtain.
