How old can a yellow headed side necked turtle be raised in deep water?

How deep you can be, my yellow-headed seedlings were only 3cm back armor when they bought back, and they have been raised in 55cm deep water to be able to go ashore by themselves, and they went to the sundeck by themselves, and my sundeck is 4cm below the water surface, and the turtle can swim up directly without fear.

Captive Breeding Habitat in captivity.

Due to the large size of this species and its extreme preference for sunbathing, it is necessary to provide a reliable place to sunburn for larger individuals. Highly aquatic, it climbs out of the water only when it is sunbathing and spawning. Powerful heat lamps and UVB tubes are also a must for these gentle side-necked turtles.

They are robust by nature, but they are very sensitive to low temperatures. Submersible heaters are a must for outdoor use, and the temperature must not fall below 60F.

Recommended breeding environment.

A minimum of a 100-gallon tank is used for smaller male adults and 160 gallons for larger females. They are good swimmers, so it's best to have large sites like ponds, ponds, and stocktanks. The water should be as deep as possible, as long as the turtle can't crawl out.

Food in captivity.

Juvenile turtles eat a variety of invertebrates, fish, pelleted turtle feed, and fish feed. as well as a large number of aquatic plants. Adult turtles are herbivorous and will accept pellets and protein if they are given them.

For adults, there is no need to provide high-protein foods on a regular basis. Pellets can be fed once or twice a week, not too much, with a significantly larger proportion of tortoise feed than water turtle feed (the latter containing higher protein). The tank should always be well stocked with aquatic plants and leafy greens, and the variety should be varied.

Can it be co-kept with other turtles.

Side-necked turtles have a gentle temperament and generally get along well with other South American turtles with similar feeding requirements.

Additional Information. The side-necked turtle is one of the gentlest water turtles in the world, and they swim and forage with great grace. They adapt well to captivity and are happy to receive food from their owners.

In the 70s of the 20th century, they were all the rage, and now they are listed in CITES Appendix II. Their declining populations are due to pets**, habitat loss, and the consumption of these giant turtles and their eggs by local indigenous people. They are not readily available in the U.S. pet market, however, there are a small number of privately bred and captive larvae** in the range of US$250-350.

At the same time, the species, which is also listed as an endangered species, requires a permit in interstate transactions, and gifts and secondments can be exempted.

When the yellow-headed side-necked turtle is polycultured with tropical fish, it will also eat fish feces.

The yellow-headed side-necked turtle is a deep-water turtle, and its water is very good, it can be mixed with tropical fish, and the difficulty of raising is not high, as long as the temperature is kept at about 28 degrees, it can be raised very well.

Although the yellow-headed side-necked turtle is a deep-water turtle, when raising it, it is best to choose more than 10 cm in deep water, usually less than 10 cm turtle seedlings, can not fully adapt to the deep-water environment, and it is easy to choke on water, and then lead to pneumonia.
