There are wild species of crocodile turtles, which can also be raised artificially. The life span of these two kinds of snapping turtles is different, and the difference is relatively large. Generally speaking, if carefully raised and properly cared for, the life span of captive snapping turtles will be between 45-50 years, or even longer. However, the life span of wild snapping turtles is relatively short, only between 15 and 30 years. The life span of these two kinds of turtles will be affected by the surrounding environment, and the impact is relatively large. In the case of harsh environment, neither wild species nor artificially bred species can live for a long time.
The size of the crocodile turtle is relatively large. When they grow up, their carapace length will be about 50 centimeters. However, this is only a rough value, not that all crocodile turtles are the same size. In fact, their size difference is still relatively large, affected by a variety of factors. For example, the size of the crocodile turtle in the wild natural environment is different from that of the crocodile turtle in captivity. If the environment is suitable, the size of the captive crocodile turtle will be larger than that of the wild crocodile turtle.
In addition, for artificially raised snapping turtles, how big they can grow has a lot to do with the way they are raised. There are many environmental factors that affect the growth and development of the crocodile turtle, such as water temperature, water quality and so on; In addition, feeding has a greater impact on their size. If you want to make them bigger, in addition to keeping the surrounding environmental factors appropriate, you also need to provide nutritious food.
