The life span of map turtles is mostly about 20 years. How long they can live depends on their living environment and feeding methods. If they live in the wild, their life span will be relatively long, but if the wild environment is polluted, their life span will not reach 20 years.

The life span of captive map turtles can reach about 20 years as long as the breeding space is sufficient and the environment is suitable. If the breeding environment is poor and the map turtles often get sick during the breeding process, their life span will also be affected. Some people with poor physique may die directly after many illnesses.

Map turtles are not big in size, and their body length in adulthood is about 20-25 cm. How big they can grow depends on their sex and breeding methods. Generally speaking, female turtles are larger than male turtles, and the adult female turtles are about 25 cm long, while the adult male turtles are only about 15 cm long. Breeders can also judge whether they are male or female by their size.

In addition, their body size is also affected by the way they are raised. If they are raised in a comfortable environment and have enough food, their body size will grow bigger. If the breeding environment is poor, they will be smaller in size.
