The life span of yellow-eared turtles can reach 25-35 years. Generally, the life span of yellow-eared turtles living in the wild can be longer, reaching 35 years or more. The life span of yellow-eared turtles raised at home is relatively short, only 25-30 years. But how long they can live depends on their surroundings. If the environment is suitable, it can live for more than 30 years. If the water quality is poor, the food is not enough, and they often get sick, their life span will be shortened.

1. The life span

of yellow-eared turtles is generally 25-35 years, depending on the environment in which they are raised. If it is a yellow-eared turtle living in the wild, its life span can reach more than 35 years, because there is enough space in the wild, and the environment and water quality are more suitable. If it is family breeding, it can generally live for 25-35 years, because the space for family breeding is not enough, the water quality can not completely simulate the natural environment, and some turtle food contains hormones, so the life span will be reduced a lot. Poor water quality, inadequate food and nutrition, easy to get sick and other factors will affect the life of yellow-eared turtles, so breeders can pay attention to water temperature, water quality and reasonable food, so as to prolong the life of yellow-eared turtles.

2. the method

of judging whether the yellow-eared turtle is adult. To judge whether the yellow-eared turtle is adult, you can first look at the length of the carapace. The carapace is generally adult between 20-30 centimeters. Secondly, depending on the age, the yellow-eared turtle can become an adult in about 5 years. Females mature one year earlier than males. Time and body length are only a rough judgment. Breeders who want to accurately judge whether they are adults can look at their genitals. If the genitals are obvious, they are adults. If the genitals are developing or not yet developed, they are minors.
