The growth rate of crocodile turtles is faster than that of other turtles. Because of their large size, their body length can increase by about 10-15 cm and their weight can increase by about 6 kg a year.
Of course, this data is only an average, and how long crocodile turtles can grow in one year depends on the feeding environment and feeding method. Under normal breeding, they can grow by 10-15 cm a year. If they are raised in a poor environment and have insufficient food and nutrition, their growth rate will slow down. In addition to the living environment, illness can also slow down their growth. If breeders want them to grow faster, they must reduce the occurrence of diseases.
2. What is the maximum length of crocodile turtleDifferent varieties of crocodile turtle have different body lengths in adulthood, and the common varieties are big crocodile turtle and small crocodile turtle. Big crocodile turtles are also called real crocodile turtles, because they are similar to primitive crocodile turtles, so their size is also relatively large. Adult crocodile turtles are about 60-70 cm long. If it is a crocodile turtle living in the wild, its body length may reach about 100 cm.
As the name implies, the small crocodile turtle is small in size, and its body length is about 30-45 cm in adulthood. Even small snapping turtles living in the wild are less than 50 cm long in adulthood.
