The Brazilian tortoise is a common pet tortoise. Before breeding them, it is necessary to know whether they are terrapins or tortoises, so as to decide how to breed them later. The Brazilian tortoise is a terrapin, not a tortoise. Therefore, when farming, water is needed, tap water at home can be used, but it needs to be dried for a period of time before it can be used, otherwise it will contain some substances harmful to the health of Brazilian turtles.
However, it should be noted that the Brazilian turtle is not a pure terrapin, because it needs to touch the air above the water surface before it can use its lungs to breathe. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the water level, not too high, otherwise they will be very difficult to float to the surface.
As mentioned above, the Brazilian turtle is a kind of terrapin, not a kind of tortoise, so it needs to be raised in water and cannot be raised in dry. But considering that they need to float above the water to breathe, the water level should not be too high. During the hatchling period, the water level should not exceed five centimeters, and after they grow up, they can adjust the water level according to their size. However, the Brazilian tortoise can not always be placed in the water, but also need to be taken out of the water from time to time, stay on the ground for a period of time, but also can enjoy the sunshine. In addition, there is a special period when they hibernate, when they can neither dry raise, nor too much water in the container, to provide a humid environment is more appropriate.
