The life span of the cultured Buddha snapping turtle is about 20-70 years, and their life span is closely related to the way of feeding. If the breeding environment is better and the food is sufficient, their life span can reach 50-70 years, and some people with good physique will live more than 70 years. If the breeding environment is poor, and the snapping turtles are prone to diseases during their growth, their life span will be greatly reduced.

There is no detailed data on how long the wild snapping turtles can live, but if they all live in a more suitable environment, the life span of the wild snapping turtles will be longer than that of the captive ones. Because of their large size, the wild environment can give them enough space, and the wild creatures will be richer than those raised in captivity, and they will develop better.

If it is a captive snapping turtle, it usually only takes 3-4 years to mature. Because the living environment of artificially raised snapping turtles is comfortable, and the food and nutrition are abundant, the maturity time will be faster. When their body length reaches 30-45 cm, they are considered adult turtles. If it is a wild snapping turtle, its adult time will be longer. How long it will grow up depends on their living environment, but its adult time will be longer than that of artificial breeding.
