In addition to paying attention to the water quality and changing the water regularly, we also need to pay attention to the water level. Although the Brazilian turtle can live in the water, but the water level needs to be strictly controlled, the water level can not be too high, the Brazilian turtle is not suitable for living in deep water. This is because Brazilian turtles breathe with their lungs, which means that they need to be exposed to air when they breathe. If the water level is too high, they will not be able to float to the surface in time when they breathe, and in serious cases, they will drown.
Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the depth of water when breeding, and it is more appropriate to use slightly shallower water for breeding. Generally speaking, the water level can be slightly above the back shell of the Brazilian turtle, which is the most suitable state. In this way, the Brazilian tortoise can only raise its head when breathing, which can be exposed to the air. In addition, besides paying attention to the water level, we should also pay attention not to let them stay in the water for a long time, which is also harmful to their growth.
As mentioned above, the Brazilian turtle is not suitable for living in deep water, shallow water is more appropriate. Therefore, in the process of aquaculture, the control of water level is a very important task. Generally speaking, when the Brazilian turtle is in the juvenile stage, the water level should not exceed 5 centimeters to ensure safety. When the Brazilian tortoise is in its adult stage, its size is uncertain, so the water level can be adjusted according to its size, just above its back.
