The size of the yellow-headed side-necked turtle is still relatively large, so we need to pay attention to the problem of containers in the process of breeding. Under normal circumstances, their adult carapace length can reach more than 40 centimeters. Larger yellow-headed side-neck turtles are also more common, with larger yellow-headed side-neck turtles ranging in size from 60 to 70 centimeters. However, it should be noted that the size of female turtles and male turtles is different. Female turtles are relatively large, and their length may reach more than 60 centimeters, but few male turtles can reach more than 60 centimeters.
For the yellow-headed side-neck turtles raised in the family, how big they can grow is affected by the surrounding environment, that is to say, the way they are raised has a greater impact on their body size. If you want them to develop well and make them bigger, you need to carefully raise them, control the water quality, water temperature, space, feeding and other factors, so that they can grow well.
To judge whether the yellow-headed side-neck turtle is an adult or not, we can judge it according to their body shape. If their body size reaches 60 centimeters or more, and their body length has not changed for a long time, then they have basically entered the adult stage. Of course, because the size of male tortoises will be smaller, they may not reach 60 centimeters before they reach adulthood, which can be judged by their growth rate. In terms of age, yellow-headed side-neck turtles generally reach adulthood after five or six years of breeding, but the specific is uncertain, this is only a general range.
