1. Do map turtles grow fast Map turtles don't grow fast. Their size is smaller than that of other turtles, so their growth speed will not be very fast. They can grow 5 cm in their first year of life. In the second year, the growth rate will slow down. It can only grow about 2-3 cm a year. When they mature, their growth rate will slow down again, and they can only grow by 1-2 cm a year. Some people who don't have enough nutrition will stop growing. If breeders want them to grow faster, they must be fed a lot of high-nutrition food, so as to ensure that they have sufficient nutrition when they develop. They should also be given plenty of space, so that their range of activities can be larger and their body shape can develop better.
2. What is the maximum length of map turtlesThe body length of map turtles in adulthood is between 15 and 25 cm, and how long they can grow is closely related to their sex and feeding methods.
Generally speaking, female map turtles are larger than male ones. An adult female map turtle can reach about 25 cm long, while a male map turtle can only reach 15 cm long in adulthood.
In addition, their body shape is also closely related to the way they are raised. If the space and nutrition for raising are sufficient, their body shape will develop better. If they live in an environment where food is scarce, they will develop smaller in size.
