Although their names are similar, they are not the same kind of turtles, and they are very different. The following details are different:

1, different body types: Long-necked turtles and snake-necked turtles have different body lengths in adulthood, and long-necked turtles are small, and their body lengths in adulthood are between 15 and 25 cm. Even if properly raised, their body length will not exceed 25 cm. The snake-necked turtle is too large, and its body length is between 20 and 30 cm in adulthood. Some larger varieties can reach a body length of more than 40 cm in adulthood.

2, neck difference: Although both species have longer necks, snake-necked turtles have difficulty retracting their heads completely into their shells. And when they retract their necks, they all retract sideways, which is similar to side-necked turtles.

Breeders can try to mix them together in their infancy, so that they will reduce many conflicts in adulthood. Long-necked turtles and snake-necked turtles are both too large, so breeders need to prepare enough space for them when they are mixed. In addition, snake-necked turtles eat a lot, so breeders need to prepare enough food for them to avoid fighting. If they fight, the breeder needs to separate them immediately to avoid injury.
