Western painted turtles are relatively easy to keep. Western painted turtles do not have very strict requirements on the environment, and they are not picky eaters. They are also very resistant to cold, and they are not easy to get sick at ordinary times.

However, in the young turtle stage, it will be relatively special. The immune system and digestive system of painted turtles are not particularly perfect, so attention should be paid to maintenance at this stage, so as not to make western painted turtles sick.
