The alligator snapping turtle is a very ancient species of turtle, a type of freshwater turtle. How big they can grow is influenced by many factors. First of all, the difference in body size between wild species and cultured species is different. Wild snapping turtles are very large, and their carapace length can reach 70 centimeters or more. In terms of weight, they can weigh up to 80 kilograms, and even have records of 200 kilograms. However, captive snapping turtles are generally not so large, and their carapace length basically stops growing when it is about 40 centimeters.
In addition, the same is artificial breeding, the size of the crocodile turtle is also different, because their size is also affected by the environment. If the environment is right, they can grow bigger. If the environment is not suitable, it will lead to their stunted growth and small size. Specifically, the two factors that have a greater impact are feeding and space, and more attention should be paid to farming.
The crocodile turtle can only reproduce after sexual maturity, and the female turtle can lay eggs after mating. The age of sexual maturity of snapping turtles is relatively late. Judging from their body length, female turtles usually enter the mature stage when their carapace length is about 30 centimeters, and they can lay eggs. Moreover, if they are raised in families, their eggs are not easy to hatch, and it is difficult for them to reproduce successfully. But you can also try, they lay eggs at a time between the number of 2-30.
