The helmeted turtle is not a deep-water turtle, it is a shallow-water turtle. Its water quality is relatively poor, so it is not recommended to keep it in places with high water levels. In addition, this kind of turtle should usually be placed in a breeding container. The water level inside should not reach the back of the turtle, so that it can breathe when it raises its head.

Precautions for raising helmeted turtles

1. When raising helmeted turtles, the water level should not be too deep, otherwise the buoyancy will increase and the turtle's physical strength will be consumed. It is easy to float or drown.

2. Change the water as little as possible during the feeding period, and control the water temperature when changing the water.

3. The food should be mainly high-quality feed, and should not be fed too frequently, otherwise it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
