Water quality requirements and water level requirements of yellow-headed lateral-necked turtle

Yellow-headed lateral-necked turtles have high requirements on water quality. When they live in nature, they are born in lakes, rivers and swamps with clean water bodies. When artificially raised, it is necessary to ensure that the water quality is clean and refreshing, so that they can live normally. Generally speaking, when feeding in summer, you can change the water once every three days and change half the water at a time. Autumn and winter can be determined according to the degree of water pollution, generally changed to 1-2 times a week. First, the yellow-headed side-necked turtle's requirements for water quality are not high, but they like to live in clean water. Wild yellow-headed lateral-necked turtles choose lakes, rivers or swamps with clean water to survive. Keeping yellow-headed turtles at home should also ensure that the water quality is clean and refreshing, so that they can live a better life.

Feeding yellow-headed lateral-necked turtles can change water twice a week, once every three days if the temperature is high, and it can be decided according to the water pollution situation if the temperature is low. Before changing water, it is best to clean up the feces and food residues in the container to delay the deterioration of water quality. When changing water, just change half of the water at a time. The water for raising them can't be tap water that has just been taken out. It will take a few days to dry it for them.

Second, the water level requirements of the yellow-headed lateral-necked turtle are different, and the requirements for water level are also different. Generally speaking, the water level in childhood is low, and the water level is the same as or 2-3 cm higher than the crustacean. When their body length reaches 10 cm, the water level can be raised a little. When they are adults, the water level can be 2-3 times the height of the shell. If terraces or gentle slopes are built in the container, the water level can be deeper. However, it is troublesome to change water when the water level is too deep, so breeders need to pay attention.
