The East African side-necked turtle can be raised in captivity. Although their breeding is not too difficult, but still need to pay attention to some problems, water level is one of the important issues. In order to control the water level reasonably, we need to understand their properties first. The East African side-neck turtle is a kind of terrapin, which can be raised in water if it is raised in captivity. But it should be noted that they are not deep water turtles and are not suitable for living in very deep water. Therefore, in the process of raising them, we need to pay attention to adjusting the water level at any time, so that the water level can not be too high.
In addition, it should be noted that the East African side-necked turtle is a semi-aquatic turtle species. In aquaculture, although the way of water culture can be used, they can not stay in the water all the time. East African side-necked turtles living in the wild come to shore to bask in the sun and other activities. The same is true when raising artificially, you can prepare a drying table for them to come out of the water to bask in the sun or rest, etc., are very convenient.
As mentioned above, the East African side-necked turtle is not a deep water turtle and can not live in very deep water, and they are semi-water turtles and can not stay in the water for a long time. Specifically, the water level can be adjusted to just below their back, or a few centimeters above their back, which is not suitable, and may lead to drowning. As they grow up, the height of their back shell will change to a certain extent, so the water level can be adjusted at any time. It should be noted that in the juvenile stage, their water is not good, so this stage in particular can not be used to raise deep water.
