The growth rate of pearl turtles is not fast compared with other turtles. They can only grow 1-2 cm a year. If the breeding environment is poor, they may not grow. Even if they are properly raised, they can only grow 2-3 cm a year at most, so their growth rate is relatively slow.

If breeders want them to grow faster, they must first ensure that they have enough living space. Secondly, it is necessary to ensure that their living environment is comfortable, and it is best not to have temperature difference, so as to avoid their illness. Finally, make sure they have enough food and nutrition, so that they can develop better.

The body length of pearl turtles in adulthood is mostly between 15-30 cm, and how big they can grow depends on their living environment and gender. Generally speaking, the female pearl turtle is relatively large, and its body length is about 30 cm after adulthood. The male pearl turtle is relatively small, generally about 15 cm, and the maximum is no more than 20 cm.

Besides sex, the way they are raised also has a great relationship. If they are raised in a comfortable environment and have enough food, they will grow bigger. If they are kept in poor conditions and lack food, they will not grow very big.
