The mini musk turtle is a very popular species of ornamental turtle. Musk turtles are not very big, and the mini musk turtle is one of the smaller species, hence the name. In general, their adult body length is rarely more than 10 centimeters, which is a very small tortoise.
Specifically, however, how long they can last can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, sex affects their body size, which is different for males and females. Generally speaking, for male and female turtles of the same age, the size of the female turtle will be larger. The same is true after adulthood, the length of the female tortoise will be about 7 centimeters, while the length of the male tortoise is only about 5 centimeters, and the size is very small. In addition, the proper way of breeding will also affect the size of the mini musk turtle. When the environment is relatively suitable, the size of the miniature musk turtle is larger; If the environment is not suitable, it will affect their development to a certain extent, resulting in their smaller size.
The life span of the mini musk turtle is not too long, usually between 15 and 25 years, few can exceed 30 years old. How long they can live is not necessarily, and the above range is only a general range. Their specific life span is also closely related to the surrounding environment. For miniature musk turtles raised at home, if they are properly raised and provided with a suitable environment, their life span is relatively long. If they do not pay attention to maintenance and the environment is very bad, they will get sick or even die, and their life span will be relatively short.
