To be exact, the serrated turtle is not a terrapin, it is a semi-terrapin. It can adapt to survive on land, but the environment must be humid, otherwise it is also prone to tortoise shell cracking. Serrated turtles are terrestrial turtles, rarely enter the water to live, even if the water, but also need shallow water environment. If they are immersed in water for too long, diseases such as nail rot will occur. To sum up, the serrated turtle belongs to a semi-terrapin, and can not be regarded as a complete terrapin.
The serrated turtle is a semi-water turtle, and cannot be completely raised as a tortoise. Although the saw-edge turtle is a semi-terrestrial turtle, this does not mean that it can fully adapt to land life. It is necessary to keep the environment moist when it is cultivated on land. If the overall environment is too dry, its tortoise shell will crack.
Generally at home, it is recommended to put it in a relatively wet coconut soil and shallow water environment, and let it often soak in the bath. The depth of water can not be over the tortoise shell as the most appropriate. When bathing, we should pay attention not to let it soak in water for too long, otherwise it will be harmful to its growth. Therefore, the serrated turtle can not be completely raised as a tortoise.
