The Brazilian red-eared turtle can be kept at home as a pet of a breeder. When breeding, it is best to know whether they are terrapins or tortoises, so as to better regulate the surrounding environment. Tortoises and terrapins are two species of turtles with different habits and characteristics. The Brazilian red-eared turtle belongs to the terrapin, which is a kind of turtle that needs to be raised in water. Therefore, in the process of breeding Brazilian red-eared turtles, the environment should not be too dry, otherwise they may die.
However, in general, the Brazilian red-eared turtle is not a complete terrapin, because they need lungs to breathe, which means that they need to put their heads out of the water or float directly above the water surface when they breathe, so they can not stay in the water for a long time.
As mentioned above, the Brazilian red-eared turtle is not a complete terrapin. They need lungs to breathe, so they need to float to the surface regularly to breathe. This determines that they are not suitable for living in deep water. If the water is too deep, they will easily become very different when they float to the surface, and even drowning may occur in the process, which needs to be avoided as far as possible. In addition, if the Brazilian red-eared turtle stays in deep water for a long time, they will be infected by some bacteria in the water, so they may get diseases, such as "nail rot" and so on.
Therefore, when breeding Brazilian red-eared turtles, don't let them live in deep water. In addition, considering that they also need to bask regularly, you can set up a dry area in the container, put a dry template, or simulate a beach environment, which is beneficial to the growth of Brazilian red-eared turtles.
