The growth rate of spotted pond turtles is relatively slow. Under normal circumstances, they can grow 2-3 cm a year in their infancy, and their growth rate will slow down in about 5 years, about 1 cm a year, and some even do not grow. Their growth rate is also closely related to the way they are raised. If they are raised indoors at constant temperature, their growth rate will be accelerated. If they are raised in the natural environment, their growth rate will slow down. If breeders want them to grow and develop faster, it is best to ensure that the environment is stable and food and nutrition are adequate.

The spotted pond turtle is relatively small in size, whether it is wild or artificially bred, and its body length is about 15 cm in adulthood. Of course, there are also large ones, which can grow to 15-20 cm, and the maximum will not exceed 20 cm.

The size of spotted pond turtles will be affected by the breeding environment, and if the breeding environment is more suitable, their size will be larger. If the breeding environment is poor, they will be smaller in size. If breeders want to make them grow bigger, they'd better ensure a comfortable environment and plenty of food.
