The maximum weight of crocodile turtles depends on their species. There are also great differences in body weight among different varieties. Crocodile turtles are divided into two species: big crocodile turtles and small crocodile turtles. As the name implies, big crocodile turtles are large in size, and their adult weights are between 45 and 75 kg. But now records can be found that the largest crocodile turtle weighs 107 kg and is kept in Chicago Zoo. The weight of small crocodile turtles in adulthood is about 22-35 kg, the maximum weight can reach 38 kg, and the body length is generally between 30-45 cm.
Crocodile tortoises are one of the larger tortoises. When raising them, they need to ensure that they have enough food and space, so that their bodies can develop bigger.
2. How long can crocodile turtles liveThe life span of different species of crocodile turtles is also different. The life span of each species is introduced in detail below:
1. Crocodile turtles: Crocodile turtles are relatively old crocodile turtles, which are similar to primitive crocodile turtles, so their life span is relatively longer. Under normal feeding conditions, their life span can reach 50-70 years. Of course, there are also people who live for a long time, about 100 years. However, due to the influence of space and environment, the life span of artificial culture is between 20 and 70 years.
2. Small crocodile turtles: The average life span of small crocodile turtles is between 45 and 50 years. Of course, their life span varies due to different feeding methods. If the breeding environment is poor, their life span may not reach 30 years.
