The starry spotted terrapin is a kind of ornamental turtle species originally produced in North America. It was introduced into China later. In China, they can be raised artificially. The star point terrapin is a kind of small ornamental turtle, their size is relatively small. Generally speaking, the adult body length of the star point terrapin will be about 14 centimeters. From the length of the carapace alone, the length of the carapace is about 12.5 centimeters, but overall, more than 12.5 centimeters is relatively small.
Specifically, it is not certain how big they can grow, because their size is different for different individuals. Their body shape will be restricted by the surrounding environment. When the environment is suitable for their growth, their development will be relatively good, and their size will be relatively large. Therefore, when raising them in captivity, we must pay attention to the maintenance, so that the star point terrapin can grow well.
The life span of the star point terrapin will be about 40 years, which is not a particularly long-lived turtle species. Specifically, 40 years is only a rough range, not necessarily, their life span will be affected by many factors. Various factors in the environment may affect their life span to some extent. For example, the impact of water quality on their life span is relatively large. If the water quality is very poor, it is easy to breed a lot of bacteria in the water, so that the star point terrapin is prone to disease, then their life span will be shortened. Moreover, other factors, such as water level, water temperature, light and so on, may affect their life span.
