The star turtle is a species of turtle that can be raised in captivity. Before breeding them, we can know their size first. The size of the star turtle is not too big. In adulthood, their carapace length is generally between 16 and 35 centimeters. Occasionally, there are larger star turtles, the length of the carapace can reach about 38 centimeters, but this larger turtle is not particularly common.
This kind of turtle can be raised in captivity, but its size will be different from that of the wild species. For the star turtle species in captivity, their size is affected by the surrounding environment, as well as feeding. For example, whether there is enough space has a greater impact on the size of star turtles, in order to develop better, they need to choose a larger container for their activities. In addition, feeding has a greater impact on their size, in order to make them larger, they need to choose more nutritious food to feed them.
The life span of the star turtle is generally about 50 years. Star tortoises that live in the wild live a little longer. If the environment is suitable, their life span can basically reach 50 years or more. If they are raised in captivity, their life span will be relatively short, probably between 30 and 50 years.
The life span of both wild and captive breeds is affected by environmental factors. If the environment is more suitable, then their life expectancy will be longer. If the environment is bad, it will not only shorten their life span, but may even lead to their direct death.
