You can use water from the tap but you have to use Aqa Plus which takes out the chlorine.
mid 70's up to 78 i keep my turtles yellow bellied sliders and map turtles outside in pond have a water heater in water. Plus when not sunny basking light and strip light for them.
a yellow bellied snake catches it's prey under water
No. Box turtles are complete land turtles and spend most of their time on land or soaking in a shallow water dish. Yellow Belly Sliders need a pond or large aquarium with a basking spot and UVB bulb. The two turtles housing needs are completely different and should not be mixed, So, the answer to your question is, No. Yellow Bellied Sliders and Box Turtles can NOT be housed together.
They either sleep on land or in the water.
you can hold a yellow bellied terrapin but you have to hold them in a position where you can't drop them and remember that they can only spend up to 30minutes without water.
pet turtles can sleep as much as they want in water if they loose oxygen they will lift their heads and get oxygen
no you just need a uv light (keep on for 8 hours aday) and a water heater (keep on all the time on 24 - 28c)
they sleep in water. at first they normally find something to hold onto near the top of the water so they can poke their nose out for air, but after a while when their heart rate slows they lay at the bottom for up to 40 minutes a time before going up for air.
yellow bellied water snakes have fangs and they do have poison glands but they have very limited amount of poison so they most likely will not bite you but if they were to bite you you will probably go into a coma and if you see a yellow bellied water snake just leave it alone and you will not have a risk so if i were you dont mess with them
They certainly can but it should never be done. Turtles will completely foul/poison the water for any kind of fish. A "Vivarium" which is part water and part land, with a warm spot for sun baking is what Turtles require. An "Aquarium" is a place where fish are kept. It is completely filled with water, has a heater if it contains tropical fish like Guppies, a fully cycled filter and regular weekly water changes of at least 50%.
