? The snapping turtle can grow up around four years old. The snapping turtle is a very old turtle species, and its growth rate is very slow. At the same time, their growth rate is closely related to the growth environment and the food they eat. And the time for each individual to mature is different, some fast and some slow. Generally
speaking, snapping turtles in the wild mature later than those in captivity, because the life span of snapping turtles in the wild is longer. The maturity of snapping turtles can also be determined by the length of their bodies. In the wild, snapping turtles can reach 70 centimeters in length, while in indoor breeding, they can reach about 40 centimeters in length.
can snapping turtles live? Their life span is also related to many factors, such as the food they eat, the environment in which they grow, and so on. If you want them to live longer, you can feed them high-protein food, such as mealworms, water fleas, red nematodes and other fresh live baits. Water should also be changed frequently, two to three times a week to ensure clean water. Generally speaking, the life span of snapping turtles growing in the wild is longer than that of indoor breeding. In the wild, a snapping turtle can normally live for 70-150 years, while those raised indoors can live for 20-70 years.
