The grass turtle is a species of turtle that is more suitable for being raised at home. They are relatively easy to raise. In the process of aquaculture, water or dry culture is a problem that needs attention. Raising grass turtles requires water and can not be dry raised, because grass turtles are not a species of tortoises. If the grass turtle lives in a very dry place for a long time, its foraging, breathing and other life activities will be seriously affected.
However, it should be noted that the behavior of the grass turtle is more like that of the semi-water turtle, but it is slightly better than that of the semi-water turtle. Considering that they are not pure terrapins, they can not live in too deep water, nor can they stay in the water for a long time, they need to go to the surface and contact the air at the surface before they can breathe. Therefore, when farming, neither dry farming nor too deep water, otherwise they may consume too much physical strength to reach the water surface, or even cause them to choke.
The grass turtle is not a kind of tortoise, but a species whose habits are between those of the pure terrapin and the semi-terrapin. Therefore, the grass turtle has a certain requirement for water, can not be dry, need water. If they are left in a dry environment for a long time, they may dehydrate and die from it. Then, in the process of breeding, they need to provide water, in the process of hibernation, they also need to provide a humid environment, too dry is not feasible.
