1. How old is the 8 cm yellow-eared turtle Under normal breeding, the 8 cm yellow-eared turtle is about 2-3 years old, because the growth rate of the yellow-eared turtle is not very fast, and it grows about 5 cm a year, so the 8 cm yellow-eared turtle is about 2-3 years old. Of course, the growth rate of yellow-eared turtles is also closely related to the living environment. If they are raised in a constant temperature environment and fed with a large amount of food containing hormones, they can grow to 8 cm within one year. However, the yellow-eared turtles raised by this feeding method will have poor physique.
2. How do yellow-eared turtles look at their age1. Look at their carapace: If you want to judge how old yellow-eared turtles are, you can look at their carapace. The shield pieces on the carapace of the yellow-eared turtle have many ring patterns, and the number of patterns represents their age. Breeders can count carefully, and one lap represents one year old. This method is relatively simple and accurate.
2, look at abdominal nail: Besides carapace, breeders can also judge by abdominal nail. Under normal circumstances, there are also circle-shaped patterns on the abdominal armor. If the pattern on the carapace is unclear, it can be judged by the pattern on the belly armor.
3. Look at the body shape: The age can also be judged by the body shape of the yellow-eared turtle, but the body shape is affected by the environment and feeding methods, and the accurate age cannot be judged, so the breeder should combine the patterns on the carapace and abdomen to judge.
