The money turtle is a relatively common pet turtle, and it is more appropriate to breed it in the family. Their size is relatively large, and how big they can grow is affected by many factors. First of all, influenced by genes, the size difference between female and male turtles is relatively large, and the size of female turtles is larger than that of male turtles.
Generally speaking, the weight of adult female turtles will be between 2.5 and 3 kilograms, while the weight of adult male turtles will generally be between 1.4 and 2 kilograms, the difference is relatively large. In addition, in the family breeding of money turtles, their body size will be affected by the way of breeding. For example, feeding is a very big factor, if you do not pay attention to the choice of nutritious food feeding, money turtles may be stunted, the size will be relatively small.
When breeding money turtles, you can also pay attention to the problem of reproduction, sometimes breeding at home may also be successful. However, the age of sexual maturity of the money turtle is relatively late, generally speaking, the mother turtle will have the ability to reproduce for 5-6 years, and can lay eggs after mating.
However, this is only under normal circumstances, and there are also cases where some female money turtles have not entered the stage of sexual maturity, and even have not laid eggs for more than ten years. Therefore, in the process of breeding, we must pay attention to providing a suitable environment, which is more conducive to the development of the body of the money turtle. Of course, after the female tortoise has the ability to lay eggs, it can only lay eggs in a suitable environment.
