1. Can ink turtles be raised in deep water Ink turtles can't be raised in deep water because they don't belong to deep water turtles and are a species between pure water turtles and semi-water turtles, so they are not suitable for deep water rearing. Compared with semi-water turtles, they have better water quality, but they are not pure water turtles, because pure water turtles eat and reproduce in water, and their feeding and reproduction are carried out on land. Although ink turtles can live in slightly deeper water, they cannot live in deep water, otherwise they will choke and drown.
2. How high the water level of ink turtles is appropriateHow high the water level of feeding ink turtles is still determined according to their body shape. Generally speaking, the water level of young turtles needs to be shallow and controlled below the carapace. Because young turtles are poor in water quality and physical strength, if they are placed in deep water, they cannot swim to the water surface quickly to breathe. As they grow in size, the height of water level can be adjusted accordingly. Generally, it is best for adult ink turtles to have a water level twice higher than their carapace. Because their physical strength and water quality will become stronger in adulthood, and their adaptability to the environment will also become stronger, living in deep water will also help them develop their carapace.
If you have the conditions, you can build a balcony for them. Because they have the habit of basking in their backs, they can climb up and bask in the sun anytime and anywhere by building a balcony. If you can't build a balcony, you can put a few Stone in the container and let them climb up and rest.
