Snapping turtles are a relatively old species of turtles, and their size needs to be known before they are bred. When they grow up, the length of their bodies will generally be within the range of 30-70 centimeters, and the individual differences are relatively large. How big snapping turtles can grow is affected by many factors. For example, different species of snapping turtles have different sizes. If it is a small snapping turtle, then their size will be smaller, adult length between 30-45 cm; If it is a crocodile turtle, then their size is relatively large, at least 40 centimeters, and some can even reach 70 centimeters.
Even for the same species of snapping turtles, their body length differences are quite obvious, because the way of breeding will also affect the size of snapping turtles, and the impact is relatively large. Therefore, if you want to make the crocodile turtle grow bigger, you need to pay attention to the way of breeding. Provide a suitable environment, at this time the snapping turtle can grow larger. Specifically, there are many influencing factors. Space is an important factor, because snapping turtles can't grow very big in a very small space.
Small fish are one of the foods of snapping turtles, but it is better not to feed small fish when they are born, and they can start feeding small fish after they grow up. Specifically, how old snapping turtles can start eating small fish depends on their species. The courage of the snapping turtle is relatively small, in their age is very small when they dare not eat small fish, generally in their length to seven or eight centimeters or even 10 centimeters when they dare to start eating, at first can feed some smaller fish. Small snapping turtles are different, they are bold, so they can start eating when they are five or six centimeters long.
