When raising the Brazilian turtle, the issue of water use is more important. Brazilian turtles can be kept in water, and they can not live in a very dry environment for a long time. However, although it is necessary to keep them in water, special attention should be paid to the water level in this process. Because the Brazilian turtle is not a pure water turtle, they need to use their lungs to breathe, so the water level can not be too high, as long as the water is over their shells, usually with shallow water to breed better results.
Generally speaking, if the turtle is young, the water temperature should not exceed 5 centimeters as far as possible, and the water level in the adult period can be adjusted according to the size of the Brazilian turtle. In addition, it is also necessary to change water regularly, generally speaking, if there is a purification device, it can be changed about 15 days, if not, it needs to be changed 2-4 days. The water used for water exchange should also pay attention to the quality of water, tap water can only be used after being exposed to the sun, so as to avoid the damage caused by chlorine to Brazilian turtles.
As mentioned above, the Brazilian tortoise is a kind of tortoise that needs lungs to breathe, so they can not soak in the water for a long time. They can be kept in shallow water so that they can breathe air as soon as they raise their heads. In addition, they can be taken out of the container regularly and not soaked in water all the time. In addition, special attention should be paid to the hibernation period, when the Brazilian turtle can not soak in the water, but can not be too dry, to create a humid environment is the most appropriate.
