Pet Knowledge

Razor turtles can be kept in deep water. Razorback turtles are deep-water turtles. Even young turtles can survive in water depths of more than 30 centimeters. Adult razorback turtles can survive in water depths of 1 meter. They like to live in deep water, but they do not completely sink to the bottom of the water. Sunken wood should be placed in the turtle tank to facilitate it to climb, and the terrace should also have a gentle slope to facilitate them to climb up from deep water to rest.

In addition to the water level, we need to prepare a relatively large container. Because razor turtles are lively and active by nature, owners should try to ensure that they have enough space for activity. If the tank is too small, it may limit their growth. Secondly, the owner should always pay attention to the water quality in the tank and develop a good habit of regular cleaning. If the water is not changed for a long time and the water is too dirty, it will also be very bad for the growth of the razor turtle. If possible, it is best to put a filter at the bottom of the tank, which will make it much easier for the owner.

The water temperature that razor turtles like is 25℃~28℃, in summer It can accept water temperatures as high as 30°C, but if the water temperature is lower than 22°C, the razor turtle will feel uncomfortable, so it prefers warm water. Razorback turtles can live happily as long as the turtle tank is not exposed to the sun in the summer. Razorback turtles that like to live in the water also need to bask on their backs. Even though they may not surface frequently, a basking platform must be prepared for them. As long as they want to bask in their backs, make sure they are exposed to appropriate light every day.
