How many years can the small crocodile turtle grow to the maximum and how long does it live

It takes about 3-5 years for the farmed snapping turtles to grow to the maximum, because the growth rate of snapping turtles is slow in childhood, but when their weight reaches 0.5 kg, the growth rate will be faster, and they can grow about 10-15 cm a year. Small snapping turtles are about 30-45 cm long in adulthood, so it only takes them 3-5 years to develop to their maximum size.

1. The small snapping turtle can grow to the maximum in a few years

Under normal feeding, it takes 3-5 years for the small snapping turtle to grow to the maximum. Most of them are about 30-45 cm long in adulthood, and can grow 10-15 cm a year, so they usually mature in 3-5 years. Small snapping turtles grow slowly when they are born, but when they weigh 0.5 kg, they grow much faster. If breeders want to make them grow bigger, they should prepare larger containers for them, so as to ensure that they have enough room for movement. If you want them to grow faster, you should feed them enough food so that they have enough nutrition to develop their bodies.

2. How long is the life span of small crocodile turtles

The life span of small crocodile turtles is relatively long, and under normal feeding, their life span can reach about 45-50 years. However, their specific life span is affected by the environment and feeding methods. If the breeding environment is comfortable and the food is sufficient, their life span will be longer. If they are kept in a poor environment and lack food, their life span will be shorter.

The resistance and immunity of crocodile turtles in their infancy are relatively low, so breeders should pay attention to prevent diseases in their infancy, so as to ensure that their life span can be longer.
