The feeding temperature of snail-eating turtles is between 24°C and 30°C. If you want to hibernate, generally if the temperature is lower than 15°C, it will gradually enter the hibernation state. In fact, the adaptability of snail-eating turtles is weak. During daily feeding, strict attention must be paid to temperature changes. When the ambient temperature is 18 °C, there will be food stoppages. If the ambient temperature fluctuates, and the temperature difference is about 4 °C, snail-eating turtles will appear. Crawling, extending or retracting the head, etc.

Next, let's take a look at the living environment of snail-eating turtles. Snail-eating turtles generally live in In slow-flowing streams or swamps, the main food is aquatic snails, freshwater snails, clams and shellfish, and occasionally aquatic insects or shrimps and crabs. This special diet makes it difficult for snail-eating turtles to adapt to long-term artificial breeding. Unless they can often provide crustacean food, they are timid by nature, so try not to disturb them in the early stage of breeding.
