Novices suggest raising Brazilian tortoises in bare tanks. All tortoises must be kept in the water! Turtles are not easy to raise, but they die slower. Build a tank. The bigger the better, the best is a rectangular glass aquarium. Large storage boxes are also fine. Turtles live in the water. The water depth of the turtles is generally slightly higher than that of the turtle's back. It should not exceed 2 times the height of the turtle's back. It is best to provide a piece of land above the water, such as a stone, for the turtle to climb up and basking. ; Turtle needs sunlight, it is recommended to put it on the balcony or room facing south.But if there are infants or pregnant women in the home, it is best not to raise turtles, as turtles are prone to carry some germs. In summer, you should cover it properly, and don't get too strong sunlight. To prevent the growth of algae in the tank, you can buy algae removers, which are sold in general aquarium stores. The bottom of the tank can be covered with small stones or large pebbles. However, if it is paved, it will be troublesome to change the water. Novices recommend using a bare tank, which means that nothing is paved. Do not put aquatic plants in the water.Tap water that has been dried for more than 2 days (for the purpose of dechlorination) should be used to raise turtles. It is best to prepare 2 plastic buckets for drying to meet the needs of water change. It is recommended to change the water once every two to three days. You only need to change a part each time. You don't need to change the water in the whole tank. Unless the water and the surrounding area are very dirty, you need to change the water in the whole tank. When changing part of the water, use a small plastic tube to suck out the dirty water at the bottom using the siphon principle, and then add the same volume of new water (ie, tap water that has been left for 2 days) into the tank. In this way, the tortoises that change the water will not have white eyes or rotten nails. If it is troublesome, you can use a filter, which is the kind used for fish farming, so that the water quality can be stabilized and a good environment can be created. Change the water more frequently in summer. Turtles eat in the water and just put the feed in the water when feeding.
