Would You Eat This? Terrapins have lots of habits that are different from other turtles. If you listen, I’ll tell you a few. When terrapins are in the wild, they eat snails, soft shell clams, insects, and marsh plants like eel grass. They eat liver if they’re in a classroom. They snack on liver in the classroom for vitamin A.
Dozing Off In A Dreamland Also, terrapins are interesting sleepers. When they sleep, they close their eyes just like us but their heart rate slows down. Therefore, they require less oxygen. They sleep on both land and water. In the winter, they hibernate and sink to the bottom of that body of water or bury themselves in beach sand.
Home Sweet Home They live only in brackish water by the Atlantic Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Chesapeake Bay. You could come across the terrapins in Carolina, Texas, Oregon, Mississippi, New Jersey, or Florida East Coast. Those are some terrapin habits.
