they don't mind if the water is deep or not, as long as there is shore for sunbathing.
pet turtles
pet turtles can sleep as much as they want in water if they loose oxygen they will lift their heads and get oxygen
in the sea, oceans, lakes, ponds, pet stores, fish bowls, almost everywhere close to water (well like turtles and frogs, not fish, and not land turtles), like sea otters are mammals but i kind of consider them sealife when in water.
Most species of turtles can survive out of water for a long time, as long as the environment is humid and out of direct sun. It is not a good idea for turtles to be completely removed from water, though.
Actualy, some species of box turtles, such as the three-toed box turtle are quite fond of water and like to swim regularly. The should be given a pool of water the is deep enough for them to get a good swim and they should be able to get into and our of it easily. The water must be kept clean as it can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Tap water is fine to use. Turtles are not fish, so the levels of chlorine in the water in their swimming pool would not be high enough to harm them.
Yes, like all pets.
pet turtles in specifically have to be looked after. they need warm temperatured water, food, and their tanks are constantly needed to be washed.
Beacuse the baby turtles cant swin much as regular turtles so they have their legs in the water and body upp...
Freshwater turtles cannot survive in the sea, no.
Box Turtles.
