The four-eyed terrapin can be raised in captivity, and their size is moderate and not too big. Generally speaking, their mature body length is about 15 centimeters, and the width of their carapace is about 10 centimeters. In addition to their length and width, we can also see their weight. Under normal circumstances, their weight can reach 300 grams, and more than 300 grams of four-eyed terrapin is also relatively common.
Specifically, how big they can grow is not certain, and individual differences are quite obvious. Their size is affected by their surroundings. Whether the terrapin lives in the wild or in captivity, their body size will be affected and restricted by temperature, feeding, water quality and other factors. Under the same age conditions, if the environment is suitable, then their development will be good, and their size will be relatively large. Inappropriate environment not only affects their size, but also may directly lead to their death.
The life span of the four-eyed terrapin is not very long, generally about 50 years. Of course, how long they live is also affected by various factors in the surrounding environment. Specifically, the most influential factors are water quality, temperature and so on. For example, if the water quality is very poor in artificial breeding, it will cause them to get sick or even die because of illness. If they are raised artificially, they must control the surrounding environmental factors so that their life span will be longer. Especially when the four-eyed terrapin is still relatively small, more attention should be paid.
