The yellow-headed turtle is also called the yellow-headed temple turtle, and its growth speed is relatively fast compared with other turtles. Because of their relatively large size, most of them can reach more than 50 cm in length in adulthood. Newborn yellow-headed turtles can grow by 8-10 cm a year as long as they can be raised normally. If properly raised, they will grow faster. Therefore, when breeding yellow-headed turtles, breeders only need to pay special attention to feeding and water temperature, and their growth speed will be kept between 8-10 cm.

The length of artificially bred yellow-headed turtles in adulthood is mostly between 50-80 cm and the weight is also between 18-25 kg. They belong to larger turtles. But how big it can grow depends on the environment and way of feeding. Generally speaking, wild yellow-headed turtles will be larger, about 60 cm or more, and some can grow to about 80 cm.

Under normal circumstances, the length of artificially bred yellow-headed turtles is between 50-60 cm and the weight is about 18 kg. They are large in size. If you want them to be larger in captivity, you'd better prepare a larger container for them, so that they have enough room for movement. In addition, they prefer vegetarian food, so it is best for breeders to feed them more plant-based feed.
