Mount turtles cannot be raised in deep water. The mountain tortoise breathes with its lungs. It should be noted that the water should not be too deep. Usually, when the turtle just covers its back, or when the mountain turtle stretches its neck, the nostrils can be exposed to the surface of the water for breathing.

Mount turtles cannot stay in water all the time. The first thing to pay attention to is the water level. It must not be too high, so that the water level is just below their feet, and their shells are above the water surface. In addition, some stones or other things can be placed in the container, which can be climbed by the tortoise, and it is more convenient to bask in the sun.

Pay attention to changing the water, if there is no filter system, change the water after feeding every day , Especially in the high temperature season, the mountain turtle excretes more after feeding, and with food residues, it is easy to deteriorate and pollute the water quality. It is best to use mountain spring water for water changes, followed by well water, and tap water to be dried for two days before use.
