can snapping turtles live? Generally speaking, snapping turtles can live for 15-60 years. Snapping turtles are generally divided into two species, one is the big snapping turtle and the other is the small snapping turtle. Wild snapping turtles are genetically similar to crocodiles, so they have a long life span. They can basically live up to 150 years. Home-bred snapping turtles do not have the ability to survive in the wild, so their life span will be shorter, the longest is about 70 years. The life span of
small snapping turtles is usually much shorter than that of large snapping turtles. Generally, the life span of small snapping turtles raised at home is longer than that of small snapping turtles raised in the wild. Because the diet and living environment of small snapping turtles raised at home are better than those in the wild, they can generally live to about 50 years. The young snapping turtles in the wild are usually between 15 and 30 years old.
of snapping turtles? Generally, we should start from three aspects. First, look at their belly stripes. Generally speaking, there are many belly stripes on the body of snapping turtles, and each belly has round stripes. Each circle represents a year. The denser the lines, the older they are. The second aspect is to look at the rings on their backs, and the number of rings on their backs plus one is their age. Note that the clearer the lines on the back, the older they are. The third aspect is to look at their weight. Generally speaking, the older they are, the heavier they are, and the younger they are, the lighter they are.
