The Brazilian turtle is a relatively popular species of ornamental turtle. Their origin in the Americas, specifically, their distribution range is relatively wide, from the United States to Mexico. Now they are more widely distributed, with the exception of Antarctica, all other continents are distributed. Their value is more, such as ornamental, medicinal, edible and so on. From the point of view of their native areas, most of them are inland areas, not sea areas. Therefore, the Brazilian turtle is not a turtle, but a freshwater turtle. If you breed at home, you can use fresh water, and you don't need to simulate a similar seawater environment.
The Brazilian turtle is a kind of terrapin, and it needs water when it is raised. Whether it is to prepare water for Brazilian turtles when they first buy them, or to change water later, we need to pay attention to the type of water. The Brazilian turtle is a freshwater turtle, not a turtle, so it can be cultured in freshwater. In the family breeding, you can directly use tap water, more convenient, but also suitable for the growth of Brazilian turtles.
However, it should be noted that tap water that has just come out of the tap should not be used, because it contains more harmful substances such as chlorine, which will have a negative impact on the health of Brazilian turtles. Therefore, after the tap water is removed, it is better to put it in the sun for a few days, or at least let it sit for a period of time, until the chlorine is basically removed, it can be used.
