Snapping turtles can be raised artificially and can be used as pet turtles. Whether they are adults can be judged by their body length. However, it should be noted that different species of crocodile turtles are different in size, and sometimes the difference is relatively large. For example, the size of the crocodile turtle is relatively large, and its body length will be at least 40 centimeters after adulthood, and the crocodile turtle over 40 centimeters is also relatively common. But in comparison, the size of the small snapping turtle will be relatively small, between 30-45 centimeters.
In the specific judgment, you can first according to their varieties, and then measure their current length. If their body length is within the body length of adult snapping turtles, and growth is not observed for a long time, then they are basically adult. However, in terms of age, the age of their adulthood is not certain.
Snapping turtles enter the stage of sexual maturity relatively early. After sexual maturity, they can reproduce in the appropriate season, and the female turtles have the ability to lay eggs. Generally speaking, for female alligator turtles that have been raised for more than three years, they basically have the ability to lay eggs. But this age is not very certain. If the breeding method is appropriate, the surrounding environment is more suitable, and the food also contains sufficient nutrition, then the mother turtle may have the ability to lay eggs at about 2 years old. However, the overall age of the crocodile turtle breeding effect is not very good, you can choose a larger crocodile turtle.
