To raise the Brazilian tortoise, you need to know their attributes, so as to determine whether it is raised dry or in water. The Brazilian turtle is a terrapin, which means they need to live in the water, and in general they spend about 70% of their life in the water. What's more, Brazilian turtles need to feed in the water. Therefore, they are not dry. However, because they are not a pure terrapin, they still need lungs to breathe, which determines that they can not live in deep water, which will lead to their inability to breathe.
When breeding, pay attention to the water level, not too high. Some breeders think that Brazilian turtles can be raised dry when they hibernate, but this is not true. Although Brazilian turtles can not hibernate in water all the time, they can not be raised dry, otherwise they may endanger their health, generally speaking, it is better to provide a humid but not much water environment. However, in some special environment can be dry, that is, when the Brazilian tortoise is sick treatment, such as rotten nail and for the "white eye disease" and so on.
The Brazilian tortoise is a terrapin and cannot be raised dry. If they do not have water for a long time, they will lack water and bleed to death because of water loss. Generally speaking, if the weather is hot, they may die after about five days of dry rearing. If there is a very strong light at this time, then they die faster. However, when the weather is cooler and humid, they may last longer.
