1. How deep is the Brazilian tortoise? Brazilian tortoises can live in both water and land. When raising them, they need water very much. However, pay attention to the depth of water. Generally speaking, it is best to let the water level just below their backs. They mainly breathe with their lungs, so that they can breathe oxygen in the air when they look up.
Generally speaking, in their infancy, it is best to keep the water level at about 5 cm. When they are adults, the difference in body shape appears. At this time, the water level is generally controlled according to their size. The water should not be too deep. If the water is too deep, they will consume a lot of physical strength and drown easily. Don't keep them in the water all the time, but also let them out in the sun.
Second, what kind of water does the Brazilian tortoise use to raise the right Brazilian tortoise? The requirements for water quality are not high, and tap water is generally acceptable. Tap water is sterilized by natural water and is rich in minerals. However, you can't use the water that just came out of the tap. The chlorine content in the newly arrived water is relatively high. Chlorine is harmful to their health and may stimulate them, thus reducing their resistance. Therefore, before using them, it is best to let them stand for a period of time or expose them to the sun. This will volatilize the chlorine in the water. If you are in a hurry, you can add a little baking soda to the water.
