Water is needed when raising Brazilian turtles, because they belong to a kind of terrapin. However, when releasing water, we need to pay attention to the water level, because although they are terrapins, they are not pure terrapins, they still need to contact the air to breathe with their lungs. Generally speaking, when the Brazilian tortoise is in its juvenile stage, the water level should not be adjusted more than 5 centimeters. After they grow up, because their size is different, the water level can be adjusted according to their specific size, not too high.
Generally speaking, it is enough to let the water just submerge their backs, which allows them to look up directly when they need to breathe, so that they can breathe fresh air. In addition, when breeding Brazilian turtles, do not let them stay in the water all the time, try to take them out of the container every day and enjoy the sun.
When breeding the Brazilian turtle, the water should not be too deep, because the Brazilian turtle needs to contact the air and breathe with its lungs. If the water is very deep, the Brazilian tortoise may need to struggle to the surface before reaching the air when it needs to breathe. If the water is very deep, the Brazilian turtle needs a lot of energy to float up, and may even cause them to drown. Therefore, in order to prevent such accidents, it is necessary to regulate the water level, the best state is to adjust according to the height of the shell of the Brazilian turtle, the water surface does not exceed their shell on the line.
