The Brazilian turtle is a kind of terrapin. When it is raised, it needs to be raised in water. They need to live in water and feed in water. However, they are not a deep water turtle, which means they are not suitable for living in deep water. It is better to let them live in shallow water. At different stages of the growth of Brazilian turtles, because of their different sizes, the water level is also different, which can be flexibly adjusted according to their size. They must not live in deep water.
If they are allowed to breathe at a depth of more than twice the height of their shells, they will need to use a lot of physical strength to float to the surface of the water. In the long run, this is not good for their health, and may even cause them to drown or choke. In addition to controlling the water level, they can also place some stones in the container where they are raised, so that they can sometimes climb to rest. If the Brazilian tortoise accidentally appears the phenomenon of choking water, to rescue them in time, let the glans downward, and then press their limbs, let the water flow out.
As mentioned above, the Brazilian turtle is not a deep water turtle and cannot live in deep water, otherwise it will have a very adverse impact on their health. Specifically, when the Brazilian turtle is in the early stage of growth, that is, the juvenile stage, the water level should not exceed 5 centimeters. After they grow up, they can adjust the water level according to their shell height, which is about the same as their shell height, and no higher than twice the shell height.
