The grass turtle is a pet turtle, and you need to know their attributes before breeding them. Terrapins, semi-terrapins and tortoises are three species of tortoises with different water requirements. Terrapins refer to the turtles that have the highest water requirements in the container, and their foraging, mating and other life activities will be carried out in the water; Semi-water turtles also need water, but usually need to pay attention to the water level; Tortoises need the least water, but they can also be reared in water, but the water level needs to be lower than that of semi-aquatic turtles.
Most people think that the grass turtle is a semi-water turtle, and some people think that the grass turtle is a species between the semi-water turtle and the terrapin, because they are better at water than the semi-water turtle, but in some cases they are not as good as the pure terrapin. Usually, water is needed for aquaculture, but special attention should be paid to the problem of water depth.
As mentioned above, the grass turtle may be a species between the semi-water turtle and the terrapin, so when raising in water at ordinary times, we must pay special attention to the problem of water depth, once the water is too deep, problems may arise. According to the different size of the tortoise, the water level can be adjusted so that the water level does not exceed the edge of the tortoise's carapace. The water used can be tap water, which can be used after drying them. In addition to water, you can also put some moisturizing cushions in the container, they need to be wet, but not too wet, otherwise it may breed some bacteria, causing grass turtles to get sick.
