The life span of the yellow-headed side-necked turtle is not short, and its life span can reach about 30-60 years under normal environment. But their life span is different in different growing environments. Normally, the life span of yellow-headed side-necked turtles living in the wild is longer, about 60 years. Of course, this is in a normal environment. If the environment in which they live is polluted, their life span will not reach this long.

The life span of artificially raised yellow-headed side-necked turtles is mostly about 30 years, and if properly raised, the life span can be relatively prolonged. If they are prone to illness at ordinary times and are raised in a poor environment, their life span will also be affected. If breeders want them to live longer, they must ensure that they have enough living space and food.

The yellow-headed side-necked turtle is relatively large, and its body length can reach more than 40 cm in adulthood, and some are too large, which can grow between 60 and 70 cm. When raising at home, the body shape will be affected by space. If breeders can ensure enough space, their bodies will develop larger.

In addition, their size is also limited by sex. Generally speaking, female turtles will be larger, and as long as they are properly raised, they can easily grow to more than 60 cm. Male turtles are smaller and rarely grow to 60 cm.
