Reeve's turtle is the smallest member of the genus Mauremys, certainly one of the most important genera of the Old World turtle own family Geoemydidae. Their range extends across principal and eastern China, as well North and South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, wherein they inhabit lakes, ponds and small streams. This species indicates a preference for slow-moving or nevertheless water with smooth bottoms, plentiful aquatic vegetation and enough basking web sites. It has also been recorded in swamps, marshes and even flooded rice paddies.Although there appears to be several distinct morphological bureaucracy (as might be predicted with a extensive-ranging species like M. Reevesii), their habits and requirements are very comparable. For the motive of captive husbandry, they may all be cared for in the equal manner.
