How deep is the right depth of water for turtles? Depth and Water Level Recommendations for Beginner Climbers

In fact, the previous article on this subject said that deep water produces good turtles and that there is no deep water in domestication. Of course, here I am talking about water turtles, not semi-water turtles and tortoises. But in between there are still many novice turtle friends ask me, this blogger briefly summarize.

If you have a small turtle hatchling, and really do not feel comfortable into a large tank, then the easiest way is to water over the back two to five centimeters. This level of water as long as the turtles stretch their necks, the nose can be poked out of the water to breathe.

Of course, the blogger’s small turtle seedlings are basically directly into the tank, but a word of caution, into the tank need to observe more, to see whether the turtle seedlings can be free to sink and float, and there is no panic and stress performance.

In addition, if the depth of the tank is more than ten times that of the turtle, or even dozens of times, then it is recommended to place a few climbing platforms in the tank, the main purpose is to give the turtle rest and breathing. The position of the climbing platform in the water can be referred to after the turtle stays on the climbing platform, the body is completely submerged in the water, but after stretching his neck, he can poke his nose out of the water to breathe on the surface of the water.
