How do you take care of map turtles?
Taking care of map turtles are more difficult to take care than other turtles. (except for snapping turtles) Map turtles should be taken care of a keeper who is experienced because taking care of map turtles are harder than other species. A map turtle has a higher nervous system than other turtles, and are sensible to water changes or condition. Map turtles only thrive well in very clean water, so you must get a strong fuilter if you are considering to get a map turtle.You also have to make sure to clean your tank often. Make sure that you set the tank and place it where it is quiet for they have a high nervous system. Make sure you do not put them near a place where it has very loud traffic, like near a window. The rest is just like taking care of other species. It would need a fuilter, a heater, a heat lamp(UVB and UVA), a basking platform (or just a place where it can bask), water that is deep, at least a 20gallon tank if you are going to keep 1 map turtle, or up to more than 100gallon if you are going to take care of more than 5 map turtles.
