Mauremys mutica is not a deep water turtle. The larvae of Mauremys mutica are not suitable for growing in deep water and are prone to drowning accidents. Under normal circumstances, if you are feeding adult turtles, you can keep them in a deep water environment, but you need to prepare a drying table for them, so as to give them a chance to come out of the water. The most suitable water level for the growth of Mauremys mutica should be the semi-deep water level, at this time, the requirement for water level is not over the back of the turtle.
Mauremys mutica cannot be completely raised on land. Although Mauremys mutica is not suitable for deep water, it is still a terrapin and needs to grow in water. However, land is also essential for the yellow-throated terrapin, so in the process of arranging the growth environment of the yellow-throated terrapin, land must be arranged, water surface accounts for three quarters of the total, and land area accounts for about one quarter of the total.
The base of the land should have a certain slope, so that it is convenient for it to play ashore and eat. And the layout on land also needs attention, should not be arranged some more sharp objects, sharp things will scratch it. Therefore, as a terrapin, Mauremys mutica can not be completely cultivated on land.
