How big can helmet mud turtles grow and how long can they live

The body length of helmet mud turtle in adulthood is between 7 and 12 cm, and how big it can grow depends on the way it is raised. If properly raised, they will be bigger. If they grow in a poor environment and have insufficient food, they will be smaller. It is difficult to raise helmet mud turtles. To make them grow bigger, we should not only ensure their living environment is comfortable and food is sufficient, but also observe carefully to avoid diseases.

1. How big can helmet mud turtles grow

The body length of helmet mud turtles can grow to 7-12 cm, but how big they can grow depends on the feeding method. If they are raised properly, they will grow bigger. If the breeding environment is poor and there is not enough food and space, they will become smaller.

In order to make helmet mud turtles grow bigger, it is necessary to prepare a comfortable living environment for them and ensure that they have enough living space. In addition, they are more prone to skin rot, armor rot, etc., which need careful observation in the process of breeding, and once found, they need immediate treatment.

2. How long can helmet mud turtles live

The life span of helmet mud turtles is relatively long compared with other turtles, and their life span can reach 30-55 years under normal breeding. The life span of helmet mud turtles raised in different environments is also different. Normally, the life span of wild helmet mud turtles will be longer, about 50 years. Manually bred helmet mud turtles can live for more than 30 years if properly bred.

The helmet mud turtle will become fierce in adulthood, and even in the face of human beings, its aggressiveness is stronger. In the process of artificial breeding, it is necessary to keep two helmet mud turtles separately, so as to avoid their fighting and fighting and prolong their life.
