When yellow-headed turtles are in the stage of growth and development, they can grow 8-10 centimeters a year. Compared with other turtles, they are a kind of turtles with faster growth rate. However, different feeding methods and feeding environments have different growth rates. Although they have low requirements for the environment, if the breeder can ensure that the water temperature and quality are stable and the food is sufficient, the growth speed of them will be accelerated. If they grow in a poor environment and don't have enough food, their growth will slow down.

Yellow-headed turtles belong to larger water turtles, which can grow up to 80 cm and weigh more than 20 kg in adulthood. Of course, this is a very small number. Under normal feeding conditions, the average body length of yellow-headed turtles is between 50-60 cm and the weight is about 18-20 kg.

If you want yellow-headed turtles to grow bigger, you must first prepare enough space for them, so as to ensure that they have enough living space. In addition, they prefer plant feed, and breeders need to feed them more vegetables and fruits. However, during their growth and development, it is best to feed some small fish, shrimp and other foods regularly to ensure their adequate nutrition.
