How many centimeters can a flame turtle grow in a year and how big can it grow

Flame tortoises can grow 10 cm a year and 30-40 grams a month in their infancy. They are too large, so their growth speed is relatively fast. When they are born for about 3 years, their development speed will slow down, and they can only grow by 3-5 cm every year. Some of them are improperly raised, and their growth rate will be slower. If breeders want to make them grow bigger, they'd better prepare a larger container for them.

1. How many centimeters can the flame turtle grow in one year

The flame turtle can grow about 10 centimeters in one year after birth, and its weight can increase by 30-40 grams in one month. Because of their large size, they grow faster. However, with the increase of time, their development speed will slow down. When they grow to more than 30 cm, their annual growth rate will slow down, and they can only grow 3-5 cm a year. If they are not raised properly, they will grow more slowly. Although flame turtles are small in size when they are young, it is best for breeders to prepare a larger container for them. Because flame turtles are highly active, large containers can give them plenty of room to move.

2. How big can flame turtles grow

The body length of flame turtles in adulthood is about 35-45 cm, but different genders and feeding methods will also affect their body shape. Generally speaking, there are some differences in the size of male and female flame turtles. The size of female turtles will be larger than that of male turtles. Generally, the body length of female turtles is about 40 cm, while that of male turtles is between 35-40 cm.

In addition, the containers they are raised have a great influence on their body size. If the containers they are raised are relatively small, their body size cannot develop very large. If there is enough room for breeding and the food is nutritious enough, their body shape will develop well.
