The pearl turtle is a relatively large turtle, but its size varies from sex to sex. Specifically, the female tortoise is growing faster than the male tortoise in all aspects. In terms of size, the female tortoise is obviously much larger than the male tortoise. An adult female tortoise can grow up to about 30 centimeters, while an adult male tortoise can grow up to 15 centimeters, which is about twice the difference.
In terms of weight, an adult female tortoise can grow to three catties, while an adult male tortoise can grow to about one catty. The difference is also relatively large. Therefore, female turtles can generally grow to 30 centimeters and weigh about three kilograms, while male turtles can grow to 15 centimeters and weigh about one kilogram.
If you want the pearl turtle to lay eggs, you generally need to reach sexual maturity. The turtle's sexual maturity period can be reached about three to five years after birth, when the female turtle actually has the ability to lay eggs. But there is a condition that only when the length of the Pearl Turtle's carapace grows to about 20 centimeters can it lay eggs. Generally speaking, the best time for pearl turtles to breed is from May to October, and the number of eggs laid each time is not equal, it can be only one, or it may reach more than a dozen. And it takes about two months to hatch.
