Terrapins can generally stay out of water for about two hours. If they stay out for too long, their health will be affected. It is worth mentioning that if the terrapin itself lives in a humid place, it can live for a period of time without soaking in the water, and if the climate is too dry and the temperature is relatively high, it may suffer from heatstroke or even die within an hour from the water. Therefore, for the sake of its health, it is best not to let it completely out of water.
1. Water quality: The water quality of raising terrapins is very critical. Since tap water is generally used, it is necessary to dry it in advance so as to remove chlorine and avoid affecting the health of terrapins. In addition, in order to ensure the cleanliness and sanitation of the water body, water should be changed regularly, generally all of them should be replaced.
2. Water temperature: As a temperature-changing animal, although the terrapin has a certain ability to adapt to different temperatures, it is best to keep the water temperature. If the temperature is high, its appetite will be strong, and if the temperature is low, it will not eat. In addition, the water temperature before and after the water change should not fluctuate too much.
3. Water volume: Different terrapins have different requirements for water volume. Generally, at the beginning of raising, the water level is not higher than the back of the terrapin. With the passage of time, the water depth can be gradually increased, but it is necessary to provide it with some places to hold, otherwise it will be very tired to swim all the time.
