big can money turtles grow? The weight of adult female money turtles can reach about 2.5-3 kg, while that of adult male money turtles can reach 1.4-2 kg. Their shells are golden yellow and their webs are bright red. They are docile and easy to raise. They are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian, Hong Kong, Macao and other places, as well as in subtropical countries and regions such as Vietnam.
They like to live in shady places and have the habit of living in groups. They have a wide range of food habits and are omnivorous animals. Money turtles living normally in nature mainly feed on aquatic animals such as snails, fish, shrimps and tadpoles in the water, as well as young rats, frogs, scarabs, snails, maggots and so on. When feeding artificially, besides feeding meat, you can also feed some pumpkins, bananas or tender stems of plants to supplement their vitamins.
? Money turtles are also known as three-line box turtles, red-edged turtles, red-bellied turtles, broken turtles, golden-headed turtles and so on. Under normal circumstances, the life span of money turtles is very long, about 30-80 years. But they reach sexual maturity at a later age. Only when they reach sexual maturity can they have the ability to reproduce. The age at which
females and males reach sexual maturity is different. Under normal circumstances, the sexual maturity of male turtles is relatively early. Male turtles bred for 3-4 years have the ability to reproduce, while female turtles need to be bred for 5-6 years to reach sexual maturity. However, when they breed, it is better not to choose rigid mature money turtles, because the breeding effect is not good, the eggs are not easy to hatch, and the turtles are not easy to survive. Money turtles are relatively weak and susceptible to disease when they are young. At this time, they need to be taken care of to avoid their death due to illness.
