The yellow-eared turtle is a common pet turtle that can be kept at home. They are not particularly large in size. For farmed species, their body length will be 20 centimeters or more after adulthood, but generally not more than 30 centimeters. In family farming, their body length is affected by many factors, the most important two of which are space and feeding. If the container is small, the space is insufficient, and they do not pay attention to providing enough food in peacetime, it will affect the development of yellow ear turtles, resulting in their short length. Specifically, how big they grow is affected by their surroundings, so if they want to grow bigger, they need to be carefully bred.
Unlike artificial varieties, wild varieties are relatively longer. Of course, this is not necessarily, their development status will also be affected by the living environment. If the environment is not suitable or even polluted, it will also lead to their stunting and even threaten their lives.
The yellow-eared turtle can reproduce only after it is mature, and the female yellow-eared turtles can lay eggs in the appropriate breeding season. Generally speaking, the age of sexual maturity of female yellow-eared turtles is relatively late, about a year later than that of male turtles. After about five years of breeding, they have the ability to lay eggs. If you want to breed at home, you should pay attention to the choice of yellow-eared turtles, you can choose 5-9 years old yellow-eared turtles.
