The maximum weight of pearl turtles can be about 3 kg, but not all pearl turtles weigh about 3 kg in adulthood. Under normal feeding conditions, their weight is about 1-3 kg, and how many kg they can grow depends on the feeding method and their gender. In pearl turtles raised in the same environment, the weight of female turtles can reach 2-3 kg and the body length can reach about 28 cm, and the weight of male turtles can reach about 1 kg and the body length is about 18-25 cm.

If you want pearl turtles to grow bigger, you should prepare a larger container for them, so as to ensure that they have enough room to move. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that their living environment is comfortable and the food they feed is nutritious. So that their body size can develop bigger.

Pearl turtles can reproduce in 3-5 years under normal circumstances. When to reproduce depends on the way of breeding. If the breeding method is proper and the environment is relatively stable, their adult time will be shorter, and if the breeding method is improper and the food is not enough, their adult time will be later.

Breeders can also measure their carapace to determine whether they can reproduce. Normally, when the length of the carapace exceeds 20 cm, they can reproduce.
