It is better to raise flame turtles in shallow water. Generally speaking, it is okay to control the water depth below the back shell of the flame turtle, or to exceed a part of their back shell, but not too much more than the back shell of the flame turtle.

The water should not be too deep when raising, otherwise it will cause flames Turtles consume too much energy when they swim to the top of the water, and they also need to regularly bask in the sun and come out of the water to rest.
