In the process of breeding map turtles, various factors in the water environment need to be paid attention to, and water temperature is one of them. Ensure that the water temperature is always in the right range, which will help the growth and development of map turtles. Specifically, the most appropriate range is 26-28 degrees, in the appropriate water temperature conditions, the activity of the map turtle will be relatively high, all kinds of life activities can be carried out normally.
However, if there is no condition to maintain the most appropriate range, it can also be between 20-30 degrees, which is also more appropriate. The adaptability of map turtles to the environment is relatively good for relativity, and the water temperature is not suitable for a while and will not have a great impact on their growth. However, in order to make them grow fast, it is better to adjust the water temperature properly when the map turtle is in the growth stage, not too low.
Whether the map turtle needs to use a heating rod in the process of breeding needs to be decided according to the specific situation. Generally speaking, if the temperature is between 20 and 30 degrees all the time, you don't need to use the heating rod, for the map turtles bred in indoor containers, the water temperature is generally in this range, you can not use the heating rod.
In winter, the map turtle will be in a state of hibernation within a stage, this time is quite special, the water temperature is low, because the map turtle at this time of the new city metabolism speed is very slow. If they are in hibernation, they generally do not need to use heating rods, but if the water temperature is below zero, they will not be able to do so. Even if a heating rod is used at this time, the water temperature cannot be adjusted too high.
