When breeding grass turtles, it is necessary to raise water, and then we need to pay attention to the problem of water depth. The water should not be too shallow, and it is not appropriate to expose the turtle's carapace to the air for a long time; But the water can't be too deep, because grass turtles are not pure water turtles, too deep water will cause them to have no way to stick their heads out to breathe the air above the water, and if they can't breathe, they may die.
Specifically, the water depth can be adjusted according to the size of the tortoise. As the turtle grows bigger, the water can be a little deeper, and the depth of the water can be controlled slightly below the back shell of the turtle. The depth of water should not exceed this limit too much, and certainly not too shallow. When raising grass turtles at home, attention should be paid to controlling the depth of water, which is helpful to the growth of grass turtles.
As mentioned above, the grass turtle needs water, but because it is not a pure water turtle, the water cannot be too deep. Grass turtles usually need to touch the air above them before they can breathe, so they can't live in deep water. If the water is too deep, they need too much energy to float to the top of the water; And if the water is too deep, it may even cause them to choke in the process of swimming to the top, of course, they may drown, so they need to pay more attention.
Furthermore, tortoises cannot stay in the water all the time. They do not need to stay in the water all the time for foraging and other activities. Moreover, they have to get water to bask in the sun. Therefore, the water should not be too deep, and they should not be kept in the water.
