When breeding razor turtles, it is a very important task to ensure that the water environment is suitable. Water temperature is an important factor, so it is necessary to know whether the razor turtle is a cold water turtle or a hot water turtle. Razor tortoise is a kind of hot water tortoise, they still have a relatively high demand for water temperature, in the environment of higher water temperature, their growth will be good. This can be seen from their native areas. The origin of razor turtles is mainly concentrated in the United States and Mexico, especially in the lower latitudes. The water temperature in these areas will be higher. Specifically, they can be seen in slow streams, soft rivers and swamps.
In addition, the sunshine in these areas is better, and razor turtles like to climb to the shore to bask in the sun. Therefore, if the family breeds this kind of turtle, then needs to provide the suitable environment, guarantees the water temperature, and lets them bask in the sun suitably.
As mentioned above, the razor turtle belongs to a kind of hot water turtle, which has a high requirement for water temperature. Therefore, attention should be paid to the regulation of water temperature in the process of aquaculture. Generally speaking, it can be maintained between 25-28 degrees. Above 30 degrees is no problem, but if the water temperature is relatively high, it needs to be in a larger container with more water inside. If the water temperature is too low, you can use the heating rod to adjust it properly, so as not to affect their appetite and activity.
Winter is a special period, if you want to put razor turtles into hibernation, you need to adjust the water temperature to 10-15 degrees. If the water temperature is too high, they will not hibernate.
