Caging Requirements for a Northern New Guinea Snapping Turtle
Housing/Habitat: Recommended size for a single adult would be a 75 gallon aquarium as a minimum (90 or larger preferred). This will provide adequate swimming area, as well as assisting the filtration in maintaining good water quality. They are excellent swimmers and their captive habitat should have a water depth as deep as possible. Substrate should be anywhere from a sand to a fine-to-medium size gravel.
Lighting: These are basking turtles, so a basking spot is required. UVB lighting is needed as well as a heat lamp over the basking spot.
Temperature: They like a water temperature in the mid 70s and a basking temperature in the high 80s.
