The musk turtle is a kind of pet turtle. Before breeding, you can know their life span first. Of all the turtle species, the musk turtle does not have a particularly long life span. Generally speaking, their life span is between 15 and 25 years. Specifically, how long the musk turtle can live is affected in many ways. For example, the life span of wild species and cultured species is different. If wild musk turtles live in more suitable waters, their life span will generally be longer than that of cultured species. Of course, if the environment is polluted, the life span of wild musk turtles will also be affected.
For farmed musk turtles, how long they can live is greatly affected by the way they are farmed. If carefully maintained, to maintain a suitable environment, musk turtles can live for a relatively long time. Especially when musk turtles are relatively young and hibernate, if they do not pay attention to regulating the environment at this time, they will easily get sick, affect their life span, and may even lead to their death.
Whether a musk turtle is an adult depends on its body length. There are many species of musk turtles, and their size will vary, but most musk turtles are small, with a body length of 7-14 centimeters. If the body length of musk turtles is observed to grow to more than ten centimeters, it means that they are adult or close to adult. At this time, you can also see their growth rate, if the body length to more than ten centimeters, and for a long time did not grow, it is adult. Generally speaking, their adulthood is generally relatively late, sometimes breeding for seven or eight years to adulthood.
