The map turtle is a deep-water turtle. It can live in deep water. If you breed in a family, you can adjust the water level to about 2 cm above their carapace. The specific water level can be adjusted according to their size, and as they get bigger, the water level can gradually rise. When the map turtle is still relatively small, pay attention to the water level not too high, otherwise accidents may occur.
2. How to raise map turtles1. Space: Although map turtles are not particularly large, breeders need to prepare sufficient space for them in the process of breeding. Breeders prepare containers according to their size of 2-3 times.
2. Feeding: Feeding is also an important factor in the process of breeding. It is best for breeders to prepare a variety of foods for them, so as to ensure the diversity of foods. Usually, you can feed some red worms, snails, small fish, shrimps, crickets, etc. You can also feed some chicken, beef, animal viscera, etc. You also need to match some vegetables such as cucumber, lettuce, pumpkin, lettuce and cabbage.
3. Water temperature: Map turtles like a higher water temperature. Breeders need to ensure that the water temperature is between 26-28 ℃ in the process of breeding. If conditions permit, heating rods can be installed to keep the water temperature constant.
4, basking in the sun: Map turtles have the habit of basking in the sun, and breeders need to build a balcony for them to have space for basking in the sun and resting.
