The Brazilian red-eared turtle is a common turtle and a pet turtle that can be raised in families. First of all, we need to understand their attributes in order to provide them with a suitable environment. Terrapins and tortoises are two species of tortoises with different habits and characteristics. The Brazilian red-eared turtle belongs to a kind of terrapin and needs to live in the water. Some of their necessary life activities are carried out in water, such as feeding. Therefore, it is best to keep it in water. Of course, too deep water is not enough, which may lead to drowning. The water level can be controlled under the back shell, and is not too high. In addition, it is better to put a sunning table in the container so that they can rest on it.
It has been introduced above that the Brazilian red-eared turtle belongs to a kind of terrapin, and some of its life activities need to be carried out in water, so it is best to use the way of water culture when raising, not dry culture. Because they are well adapted to the environment, dry feeding will not endanger their lives for a short period of time, but if they live in a very dry place for a long time, they may be dried to death.
Of course, in some special periods, it can be dry. For example, when they are sick and treated. There are some diseases that can't be treated while the Brazilian red-eared turtle is in the water, such as rotten nails or white eyes. Moreover, even if the water is raised, the Brazilian red-eared turtle can not stay in the water all the time, it is better to let them often move on the ground, or bask in the sun, long-term in the water is not conducive to their growth and development.
