Snapping turtles can live 15-60 years, depending on the species and how they are raised. Snapping turtles are divided into two species: big snapping turtles and small snapping turtles. If they are big snapping turtles raised by families, their life span can reach 30-70 years. If they are wild snapping turtles, they can live about 120-150 years. The life span of small snapping turtles is relatively short. Those raised at home can generally live for 40-50 years, while those in the wild can only live for 15-30 years.
There are two species of snapping turtles, one is the big snapping turtle, the other is the small snapping turtle. Different species have different life span. Snapping turtles are also known as true snapping turtles because they are very similar to crocodiles and genetically close to primitive snapping turtles, so their life span can reach 30-150 years. Generally, the life span of home-raised snapping turtles is shorter, about 30-70 years, because the home-raised space is smaller and the size of snapping turtles is larger, so the wild is more suitable for them. Snapping turtles in the wild will live longer, about 100 years, because there is plenty of space and food in the wild, so they will live longer. The life span of
small snapping turtles is a little shorter than that of big snapping turtles, because small snapping turtles are generally simulated snapping turtles, and the genes of primitive snapping turtles are already relatively small, so their life span will be shorter when they survive in the wild, generally they can only live 15-30 years, but if they are raised at home, they can live 40-50 years. Because they are not as good as snapping turtles in the wild, home rearing can keep them well fed and live longer.
2. The size
of the snapping turtle 1. The big snapping turtle: The size of the big snapping turtle is relatively large. Generally, the length of the carapace can reach 40-70 centimeters, and the weight can reach 45-75 kilograms. If properly raised, it can also reach 100-200 kilograms.
2. Small snapping turtles: The size of small snapping turtles is relatively small, the length of the carapace is 40 centimeters, and the weight is generally within 40 kilograms.
