1. The turtle breathes with its lungs, so it should be noted that the water should not be too deep. Usually, when the turtle just covers its back or stretches its neck, its nostrils can come out of the water to breathe. If the water is too deep, the turtle needs to swim to the surface to breathe and consume energy. Especially the turtle seedling. If the water is too deep, the turtle seedling always swims on the water surface to ensure breathing. A long time will cause physical exhaustion and risk of drowning.
2. It is suggested to build an aquatic and terrestrial environment for tortoises, that is, one third is land and two thirds is water. The water level of the turtle raised in this way can be properly deepened, but it is also better for the turtle to breathe naturally. The filtration system shall be added for turtle breeding in deep water. If the container is small, you can put a suntan stone slightly higher than the water surface in the water. The stone should not be too rough to prevent the turtle's limbs and belly armor from wearing. The stone is twice the size of the tortoise shell.
