of snapping turtles is an important aspect in raising snapping turtles. There are five main ways to judge. One way is to look at their belly spots. Each belly spot on their body has round lines, each circle is a year, usually a few circles they are a few years old. The second method is to look at the rings on the back shell of the snapping turtle. Generally, the number of rings plus one is the age of the snapping turtle. However, this method is only applicable to younger snapping turtles that grow naturally. The third
method is to look at the weight of the snapping turtle. Generally, a one-year-old turtle weighs about 15 grams, a two-year-old turtle weighs about 50 grams, and a three-year-old turtle weighs about 100 grams. The fourth method is to look at the proportion of the head and body of the snapping turtle. Generally, the carapace is about 5-6 centimeters, and the age is about one year old. Generally, the carapace is about 6-10 centimeters, and the age is between 1-3 years old. The fifth method is to look at the lines on the back of the snapping turtle. Generally, the clearer the lines are, the older the snapping turtle is.
long is the life span of snapping turtles? Snapping turtles are relatively old turtles. They can be divided into two kinds, one is wild species, the other is artificial breeding species. It is uncertain how long they will live. Generally, captive snapping turtles can live to 20-70 years old, but some live to 100 years. The way they are raised has a big impact on their life span. If they are raised well, they can live for a long time. If they are not raised well, they may die of illness in their childhood. Some studies have shown that wild snapping turtles live between 70 and 150 years. Their life span is also affected by the surrounding environment.
