CATDOLL : CATDOLL: The alligator snapping turtle always wants to get out of the water

The alligator snapping turtle always wants to get out of the water

Alligator snapping turtles are active and climbers by nature, especially in a confined space. First of all, your alligator snapping turtle is not sick, it is just temporarily not adapted to the environment. Any turtle that is taken out of the water for a while and then put back will want to crawl out. This is a sign of not adapting to the environment, so your alligator snapping turtle is like this, it's okay.

It is recommended to keep the fish in shallow water for a while and don't raise the water level too quickly. If you feed them too much, they may float up, but they may also choke on water.

Newly bought turtles are still very easy to choke. It is recommended to maintain the water temperature at a low water level.
