Their habits are sometimes not like a pure terrapin, and there is a certain difference with the semi-terrapin, so they are generally considered to be a species between pure terrapins and semi-terrapins. They can not live in deep water, usually let the water level in the turtle's back shell height so high. If the water is too deep, you may drown.

1. can grass turtles be raised in deep water?

Before raising grass turtles, you need to know about their water. Grass turtles need water to raise, if they live in a very dry environment for a long time, it is not conducive to their growth, and may even lead to their death. However, their habits and characteristics are still different from those of pure terrapins, because all kinds of activities of pure terrapins are generally carried out in the water, such as breathing, foraging and reproduction, but grass turtles are not entirely like this. However, there is a certain gap between the habits and characteristics of the grass turtle and the semi-water turtle, because the water of the grass turtle will be slightly better.

Therefore, many people believe that the grass turtle's habits and characteristics are between the two, so it can adjust the surrounding environment according to this characteristic. They can't live in deep water because they're not pure terrapins; But they can't live in too little water because they're not tortoises.

2. how much water is appropriate for raising grass turtles

As mentioned above, raising grass turtles requires water, but you can't use too deep water, so you should pay attention to the depth of water in the process of raising. Generally speaking, it is enough to control the water level at the height of the turtle's shell, not too much higher than their shell height. In addition, they also need to bask in the sun at ordinary times, so they can't stay in the water all the time. Therefore, the tortoise can be taken out and put in the sun at a fixed time every day. Or place some high stones or other objects in the container so that the tortoise can climb up and bask in the sun.
