When breeding razor turtles, controlling the water level is an important aspect. Razor turtles belong to a deep water turtle, which means they can live in relatively deep water. However, the water level can not be made very high at the beginning. When they are in the juvenile stage, they can not be raised in too deep water at this time, and it is better to raise them in slightly shallower water. As they grow up, the water level can also rise. But it can't rise too fast and suddenly let them live in deep water. Generally speaking, they can rise about 5 centimeters a week to gradually adapt to the deep water environment.
Generally speaking, after they grow up, the water depth can be controlled at about 1 meter, and it does not need to be too deep. Deep-water aquaculture also needs to pay attention to some problems, such as putting oxygen-increasing equipment in containers, and supplementing some appropriately when the water is anoxic. In addition, a sunning table can be placed in the water, or an area where razor turtles can rest.
It is most convenient to use the tap water at home to raise the razor turtle. Whether it is to create a water environment for them when they are just bought back, or to change water later, tap water can be used. Just from the tap out of the water contains more chlorine, not suitable for direct use, can be placed in the sun, after a period of time to use.
The type of water is not too important, tap water is OK, but water quality is a relatively important factor. In particular, razor turtles need deep water to breed, and ensuring water quality is an important task in the process of breeding. If you feel that it is troublesome to change water frequently, you can place a filter.
