How long can the little snapping turtle live and how big can it grow

Under normal breeding conditions, small crocodile turtles can live for 45-50 years, and they belong to a kind of turtles with relatively high life span. But when they are raised in different environments, they can live for different times. If it is a small crocodile turtle living in the wild, as long as the living environment is not polluted, their life span will be relatively longer. The life span of artificially bred crocodile turtles will be relatively short, about 40 years, and that of some improperly bred crocodile turtles is only about 30 years.

1. How long can small snapping turtles live

The life span of small snapping turtles is about 45-50 years. Compared with other turtles, they belong to a kind of long life span. However, the life span of small crocodile turtles raised in different environments is also different. Small snapping turtles living in the wild, as long as the living environment is not polluted, their life span will generally be more than 50 years. The life span of farmed crocodile turtles will be shorter, generally about 40 years. If they are raised improperly, or if they get sick frequently, their life span will be relatively reduced, which may not exceed 30 years. In order to prolong their life, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of their illness and ensure that their living environment is comfortable.

2. How big can small snapping turtles grow

The size of small snapping turtles is generally between 30-45 cm, and how big they can grow depends on the breeding environment. If they are raised in a good way and have enough food, their body length can grow to about 40 cm. If the feeding method is wrong and the food is scarce, their size will be smaller, about 30 cm.

If breeders want them to grow bigger, they should be fed more nutritious food and ensure that their living environment is comfortable. The most important thing is to ensure that they have enough space to live.
