1. Container: The crocodile turtle is a kind of turtle that is easy to raise. It is large in size, so the container should be large enough. A basking table is arranged in the container, and the animals can bask and rest on the basking table. Planting some green plants around the drying table, placing some shells, sand and stone, etc.
2. Feeding: The alligator snapping turtle is an omnivorous animal. There are two main kinds of food: animal food and plant food. Animal foods include small fish and shrimp, shellfish, amphibians and fresh beef, mutton and pork; Plant foods are green vegetables, such as cabbage, lettuce and so on. There are also fruits, such as bananas, apples, pears and so on.
3. Water temperature: The alligator snapping turtle has a strong adaptability and is a poikilothermic animal. It is resistant to high temperature and low temperature and can survive at the water level of -5-43 degrees. Their best growth water temperature is 28-31 degrees, too low temperature directly affects the growth rate of snapping turtles.
4. Water quality: Because the alligator turtle has more food intake and excrement, the water quality is polluted faster. It must be sterilized and disinfected regularly, and the water must be changed regularly to keep the water clean.
5. Water level: When breeding alligator snapping turtles, you can use deep water for breeding, but the water level does not need to be too deep, generally speaking, it can be slightly higher than their carapace height. However, when the snapping turtle is young, the water level should be relatively shallow, and it can breathe when it looks up.
The suitable temperature for raising snapping turtles directly affects their growth rate. To speed up their growth, they can be heated to 28-31 degrees, which is the best water temperature for their growth. However, snapping turtles generally do not need to be heated because they are highly adaptable to temperature. In winter, as long as the water does not freeze, there is no problem, you can hibernate naturally.
