Cape Langer tortoises cannot be raised in deep water. They only inhabit rocky areas where sandstone and iron ore are abundant. They are mainly distributed in the Karoo Plain of South Africa. Generally, only land raising or shallow water raising is recommended.

But no matter whether they are raised on land or in shallow water For feeding, attention should be paid to controlling the temperature and humidity of the environment. Sufficient drinking water should also be placed in the breeding area. The Cape Langer tortoise is often more active in summer, and the supply of food can be appropriately increased.
