The yellow-smooth-bellied turtle is not big in size. Generally speaking, the body length of a turtle from a small turtle to an adult turtle is between 5 cm and 30 cm, and the largest can grow to about 30 cm. The weight is not heavy, and the weight of an adult turtle is between 5 and 6 kg. On average, a yellow-smooth-bellied turtle is 25 centimeters long, and the female turtle is larger than the male turtle.
Of all the tropical turtle species, its growth rate is relatively fast. As long as three to five years, it can grow to 15 centimeters, and its weight can reach two kilograms. Although its ornamental value is very high, it can not stimulate them blindly and let them grow rapidly, which is not conducive to its health.
The life span of the yellow-smooth-bellied turtle is not long among turtles, and the longest life span is about 35 years. In fact, how long it can live is affected by two factors, on the one hand, genes, on the other hand, by the later breeding environment. If the congenital parent gene is excellent and the later breeding is relatively appropriate, it can naturally live for a long time.
The turtles bought from the market have not been raised for 25 years. Apart from the cause of disease, it is also possible that they themselves have already reached a certain age.
