The length of carapace of flower turtles in adulthood is mostly 20-25 cm, and different genders have different body shapes. When raised in the same environment, the female turtle will be bigger and the male turtle will be smaller. Generally speaking, the length of female turtle's carapace is about 20-25 cm, the width is between 18-20 cm, and the height is about 10 cm. The length of the carapace of male turtles is usually about 20-23 cm, and the width is about 17 cm. The height of male and female is not much different, and it is about 10 cm. Flower turtles have different body shapes in different growing environments. If breeders want them to grow bigger, they should be given enough space to move and enough food.

The life span of artificially raised turtles is shorter, only about 20-30 years. If the family rearing environment is better and the physique of turtles is better, their life span can reach more than 30 years.

Wild turtles live longer. If the environment is not polluted, their life span can reach about 50 years, and some can be more than 50 years. If breeders want to make them live longer, they should pay attention to preventing diseases at an early age and try their best to avoid getting sick. Attention should also be paid to the stability of the feeding environment to avoid discomfort caused by sudden changes in the environment. In addition, it can also reduce the frequency of reproduction and effectively prolong their life.
