Soft-shelled turtles are reptiles that can live in water for a long time, so they can be raised in water. Water is also good for turtles, such as preventing them from being bitten by mosquitoes. If you are raised artificially, you can use tap water, but you need to leave it overnight or dry it for a period of time before you can use it.
In the process of water culture, there are many factors that need to be paid attention to. For example, water quality, turtle is a very sensitive to water quality organisms, once the water quality is too poor, it is easier to get sick, so regular water change is needed. Then is the water temperature, the turtle to the water temperature request is also quite high. Because soft-shelled turtles are poikilothermic animals, the surrounding temperature will have a greater impact on their appetite and activity, so it is recommended to keep the water temperature between 20-30 degrees, which is most conducive to the growth of soft-shelled turtles. The oxygen content in water is also an important aspect, if necessary, it can be artificially oxygenated.
As mentioned above, the turtle is a reptile that can live in the water. In fact, the turtle's own water is better, you can use deeper water to raise them. However, turtles can not breathe in the water, they must surface for air. If they have no place to breathe and remain in the water, they may also drown. Therefore, when breeding in deep water, it is better to provide a drying platform for them to prevent them from drowning because they often have to float to the surface to breathe.
