How long can crocodile turtles live when they grow up in several years

Wild snapping turtles usually mature in about 5 years, because although the wild environment is comfortable, there is not enough food. The adult time of farmed crocodile turtles will be shorter, and they will mature in about 4 years. Because the environment of farmed crocodile turtles is relatively stable and there is plenty of food, they will grow up for a shorter time. Some fed with hormone-containing feed may mature in 2-3 years.

1. Crocodile turtles grow up in a few years

Most crocodile turtles living in the wild can mature in 5 years or more, because although the wild environment is more suitable for their survival, food is scarce, and the environment is not particularly stable due to the influence of weather.

It takes about 4 years for the farmed crocodile turtles to mature, because the farmed crocodile turtles live in a stable environment, have sufficient food and nutrition, and develop faster. Of course, some crocodile turtles raised in a constant temperature environment and fed with a lot of hormones may mature in 2-3 years.

Different species of crocodile turtle have different body lengths in adulthood. Generally speaking, when the body length of crocodile turtle reaches 40 cm, it is considered as an adult. Small crocodile turtles are mature as long as they reach about 35 cm.

2. How long can crocodile turtles live

The life span of crocodile turtles is about 20-150 years. They live in different environments and their life span is different. Generally speaking, wild snapping turtles live longer, and as long as their living environment is not polluted, their life span is about 70-150 years. The life span of artificial farming will be shorter, about 20-70 years. If breeders want to make them live longer, they can feed them more nutritious food, and in addition, they should avoid getting sick.
