Money turtles are a popular species of pet turtles. The difficulty of breeding them is relatively low, and their life span is relatively long. Under normal circumstances, that is to say, they will not die suddenly because of illness, they can live for 30 to 80 years. Moreover, they have irregular periods of dormancy in the course of their life, and if these periods are added, their life span will be about 100 years. If they are wild and in a less polluted environment, they may live longer.
In order to make the life span of money turtles longer, we also need to pay attention to the regulation and control of the environment. Especially when the money turtle is still relatively young, at this time they are more sensitive to the surrounding water environment, and their resistance is not too good, we must pay more attention to avoid their death due to disease.
Although the life span of money turtles is relatively long, their age of sexual maturity is relatively late. Only after entering the age of sexual maturity can they have the ability to reproduce. Specifically, the age at which female and male money turtles enter sexual maturity is different, and male turtles enter sexual maturity earlier. Under normal circumstances, male turtles will have the ability to reproduce in 3-4 years, while female turtles will have the ability to reproduce in 5-6 years. However, when breeding, it is better not to choose rigid mature money turtles, so that the breeding effect is not good, the eggs are not easy to hatch, and the turtles are not easy to survive.
