Brazilian turtles have active habits, like to live in the water, are not afraid of people, and have a strong ability to adapt to the environment. The water temperature suitable for growth is 20-32, and the optimal water temperature for growth is between 25-30. Less food intake and less active activity when below 20; Basically stop feeding when it is below 15; Activity below 10 is markedly reduced and semi-dormant.

In hibernation, occasionally the water temperature rises above 18C, do not feed to prevent the temperature from dropping at night, causing indigestion and other diseases.

During the hibernation process, some abnormal turtles such as floating water and weak limbs should be fished out in time and kept in isolation. After hibernation, with the increase of temperature, the water temperature reaches about 16C, the turtle has a small amount of activity, some turtles have been able to forage, at this time can not be in a hurry to feed, should wait for the temperature difference between day and night does not exceed about 6 °C before feeding, the first feeding needs to be fully changed and disinfected.
