True snapping turtles can be raised artificially, and their size is relatively large. In terms of length, their carapace length is very long after adulthood, generally concentrated between 40 and 70 centimeters. Of course, there will be longer true snapping turtles, ranging from 75 to 90 centimeters in length. In addition, in terms of weight, most of the real snapping turtles will weigh between 45 and 75 kilograms. Larger true snapping turtles are also relatively common, and there are even records of true snapping turtles weighing up to 200 kilograms.
Specifically, how big they are is not certain and is affected by many factors. For the captive breeding of real snapping turtles, the most important factor is the way of breeding. If the environment is suitable, then the size of the real snapping turtle will be larger. If the environment is not suitable for their growth, it will lead to their poor growth. Specifically, space and feeding are two important factors to provide them with sufficient space and nutritious food.
The difference between the wild true snapping turtle and the artificial breeding true snapping turtle is relatively large, and their life span will be quite different. For real snapping turtles in captivity, their life span will be between 20 and 70 years. However, if properly farmed, they can live for more than 100 years. True snapping turtles in the wild, however, live slightly longer. However, there is not much research in this area, but there is some evidence that the life span of wild real snapping turtles is generally more than 70 years. Whether wild or cultured, their life span will be affected by the surrounding environment.
