The Mississippi musk turtle is a deep-water turtle that can be farmed in deep water. However, when the Mississippi musk turtle is very young and still in the juvenile stage, it cannot be cultured in deep water until they are adults.

Of course, the water level of the Mississippi musk turtle cannot rise indefinitely after adulthood , Generally speaking, it is enough to control it at 20-30 cm, and the water should not be too deep, because there are some differences between the artificially cultured Mississippi musk turtle and the wild species of Mississippi musk turtle.
