Do turtles like to live in water?
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.
