The alligator snapping turtle is a relatively old species of turtle. There are wild species of turtles, and they can also be raised artificially. The specific number of years they can live is not certain, and the individual differences are very large. Generally speaking, the life span of captive alligator turtles is between 20 and 70 years. Some snapping turtles can live longer, sometimes up to 100 years. Their longevity has a lot to do with how they're farmed. In order to make them live longer, we need to pay attention to the way of breeding. Especially when the crocodile turtle is relatively small, it is relatively easy to get sick, so it needs more attention.
The lifespan of wild species of snapping turtles is currently unclear. However, some studies have shown that their life span is between 70 and 150 years old, which means that they live longer than those bred in captivity. Of course, the longevity of wild species also has a lot to do with the surrounding environment. If the environment is not suitable, it will also affect their life span.
From the breeding time, the snapping turtle will reach the adult stage after about four years of breeding. However, this is not necessarily, their specific adult time is affected by a variety of ways, individual differences are still more obvious. Some alligator turtles mature early, while others mature later, because they grow at different rates. In addition, from the point of view of their carapace length, the carapace length of wild species of alligator turtles can reach 70 centimeters, or even more than 70 centimeters is possible, but the carapece length of artificial breeding species of alligator turtles will stop growing to 40 centimeters, so it can also be judged from the length.
