The body length of map tortoises can reach 15-25 centimeters, and the body size of map tortoises varies from sex to sex. Males can reach about 15 centimeters, and females can grow to about 25 centimeters. The development of the map turtle is slow, and the adult time is relatively long, usually 5-6 years to mature. However, the specific time should be determined according to the feeding situation and the living environment. If the environment is suitable, they can grow faster.
Map How old are turtles and how often do they breed?

1. How big

is the adult body of the map turtle? The body length of different sexes of the map turtle is also different. Generally, the female map turtle is larger than the male. Females can reach about 25 centimeters in length, while males can only reach about 15 centimeters in length. Compared with other tortoises, the development of map tortoises is very slow, sometimes there is no sign of growth for about half a year. Map turtles are raised at home, and space and food have an impact on their size. If the space is sufficient, the living environment is suitable, and the food and nutrition are sufficient, their growth rate will be slightly faster. If the living environment is poor and the food is insufficient, they will develop slowly or even not develop, and their adult size will be very small.

2. How long does the map turtle breed

? The development of the map turtle is relatively slow, so it takes 5-6 years to enter the stage of sexual maturity and have the ability to reproduce. But the specific time needs to be judged according to the breeder's breeding method and the physical condition of the map turtle itself, because they will also have the distinction between early maturity and late maturity. If breeders need to breed them, it is better to choose older ones, because the success rate of adult map turtles is lower and the number of eggs laid is smaller.
