The crocodile turtle is a kind of more famous turtle, because their history is very long, is a kind of ancient turtle species. The little snapping turtle is one of them. When they reach adulthood, their body length is usually between 30 and 45 centimeters. However, this is only a general range. Specifically, the size of small snapping turtles of wild species and cultured species is different. Wild species will live in the wild waters, if the surrounding environmental conditions are more suitable, then their body size will generally be larger, body length will be longer than the captive alligator turtle. Of course, if the environment is not suitable, it will also affect their body shape. Artificial breeding of small alligator turtles, their size will be limited by many factors, such as space is an important limiting factor.
Of course, there are individual differences in how long the snapping turtle can grow. The same is artificial breeding, some small alligator turtles can grow very large, some small alligator turtles are relatively small, which is related to genes, but also with the acquired breeding methods, such as feeding, water temperature and other factors, so if you want to make them larger, you need to carefully raise them.
In terms of weight, the weight range of the small snapping turtle after adulthood is between 22 and 35 kilograms. Of course, the weight of wild and farmed small snapping turtles is naturally different. There are records of small snapping turtles weighing more than 100 kilograms in the wild. The same is artificial breeding, the weight of small snapping turtles will also be different. If you want to make them bigger, naturally pay attention to the way they are raised and take good care of them.
