1. Difference between water turtle and semi-water turtle The difference between water turtle and semi-water turtle is mainly reflected in the dependence on water. Water turtle has strong dependence and semi-water turtle has weak dependence. In fact, turtles are only divided into water turtles and tortoises, and semi-water turtles are also included in water turtles, because most of them live near water sources or inhabit high humidity environments. Although they can live out of water, long-term dehydration will also affect their growth and appearance, which is different from real tortoises.
2. What are the requirements of water turtles for water1. Water temperature: The first thing to pay attention to when raising turtles is water temperature. The temperature affects its vitality and appetite. When the temperature is high, it often loves activities and can eat. When the temperature is low, it reduces food intake and does not like to move. It is best to keep the water temperature above 20 ℃ at ordinary times and about 10 ℃ during hibernation.
2. Water quality: Whether the water quality is good or not also has a great impact on the health of turtles. If the water quality is poor, turtles are easy to get sick, such as white eye disease, skin rot disease and so on. Therefore, in order to maintain the water quality, after feeding or excreting it, it is necessary to change the water and clean up the food residues in the water.
3. Water level: Usually, turtles should not be raised at too high a water level. Even deep-water turtles should be raised in shallow water, and then the water level should be raised. The water level can reach the turtle's back without passing the turtle's limbs, so that the turtle can breathe when it looks up without worrying about drowning.
