Grass turtles are a kind of terrapin. If they are kept at home, they need to be kept in water. Dry rearing may cause them to dry to death. However, they also need to dry their shells, so they can not be kept in water all the time. Usually when farming, we need to pay attention to the water level, try to make the water just over their feet, so that their shells can be exposed to the water. Some stones or other things can be put in the container for them to climb up and dry their shells. Also have to pay attention to the problem of water change, do not let the water quality is too dirty.
