No, loggerhead turtles do not need fresh water. They have a specialized tear gland that excretes sodium and potassium. Thus, they are able to 'create' their own fresh water.
Fresh water, with a strong filter. Change water once every month.
Turtles lives in Water.Sea Turtles (superfamily Chelonioidea) are turtles found in all the world's oceans except the Arctic Ocean. There are seven living species of sea turtles: flatback, green sea turtle, Hawksbill, Kemp's Ridley, Leatherback, Loggerhead and Olive Ridley. And they can't live without water. That's how they swallow so they need water to eat. They always live in fresh water.
You clean your turtles tank every 2 weeks and you dont need to wash your turtle because your turtle will wash itsself in the fresh water you have put in
All animals need water to live. Turtles are animals.
I believe it's better if turtles are in cold water. I suppose it's okay to put turtles in warm water - just don't place them in hot water.
Water
no unless u have a freakn huge saltwater pond that includes all of the food they eat and territory they need to exercise in. (aka the ocean)
NO! Leatherback turtles. Are specially adapted to SALT WATER. They would not survive in freshwater. Also, the grasses that they eat are adapted to salt water. So, they would have the wrong water, and the wrong food. That would be like living in Carbon Dioxide and having only glass to eat.
fresh water
they think they need water
Most turtles live in fresh water ponds or lakes and come out to sun themselves on logs and rocks. Sea turtles and other turtles like it however live in salt water oceans and come to shore to lay eggs every few years. You need to be more specific on which kind of turtle you mean to get a clearer answer.
As sea turtles are air breathing reptiles, they need to surface to breathe. Sea turtles can hold their breath for several hours, depending upon the level of activity. A resting or sleeping turtle can remain underwater for 4-7 hours.
