How big and how long can a domestic flame turtle grow

Most of the flame turtles raised in families are 35-45 cm long in adulthood, and how big they can grow depends on their sex and the way they are raised. Generally speaking, female turtles will be larger, and their adult body length will be about 40 cm. Male turtles will be smaller, and their body length will be between 35 and 40 cm in adulthood. Besides, it depends on the breeding space. If there is not enough space, their body size will not develop too much.

1. How big can domestic flame turtles grow

The length of artificially raised flame turtles is usually between 35-45 cm. How big can they grow, the way they should be raised and their sex. Normally, the female flame turtle will be larger, and most of them are about 40 cm long. Male flame turtles are smaller, and their body length will be between 35 and 40 cm in adulthood. Generally, few male flame turtles can be longer than 40 cm.

In addition to the sex restrictions, the feeding space also has a greater impact on them. If the container is small, they don't have enough room to move, and even if they are fed enough food, it is difficult for them to grow big. If there is enough room for breeding, they can also grow very big.

2. How long can flame tortoise live

Flame tortoise is a common tortoise species, and its life span is relatively long compared with other tortoises. The life span of flame turtles raised in families will be about 30 years. If the breeding environment is suitable for their growth and the food is sufficient, they can live to about 50 years. Flame tortoises living in the wild will live longer, and some can even reach 100 years. Flame tortoises are less resistant to diseases in their infancy. If breeders want them to live longer, they must avoid diseases in their infancy.
