The average life span of spotted pond turtles is between 20 and 30 years. Of course, some special ones can live to more than 30 years, but these are only a few. Compared with other turtles, their life span is relatively short. But how long they can live depends on the environment in which they are raised. The resistance and immunity of spotted pond turtles in their infancy are relatively poor. If they often get sick during feeding, their physique will deteriorate and their later life will be affected. If they are raised properly and are well protected from disease, they will live longer, but not more than 30 years at the longest.

The body length of spotted pond turtles is generally 15-20 cm, and there will not be much difference in body length after adulthood, whether it is wild or artificially bred. Specifically, their body length is affected by the feeding environment. If the breeding environment is comfortable, then their size is relatively large. If they are raised in the wrong way, or if they live in a harsh environment, they will not grow too big. If breeders want them to grow big, they should be fed more high-nutrition food, and the water temperature and quality should be ensured to be comfortable.
