The map turtle is a common pet turtle, which is relatively common in the market and suitable for breeding at home. They are not too big, and they are small pet turtles. The size of male and female turtles is different, and the size of female turtles is larger than that of male turtles. Generally speaking, the body length of adult female turtles will be about 25 centimeters, while the body length of male turtles is only about 15 centimeters. Moreover, whether male or female turtles, their growth rate is very slow, and sometimes half a year can not see signs of their growth.
The size of map turtles raised in families is also affected by the way they are raised. If the surrounding environment is more suitable, then their development status is good; If the environment is not suitable for their growth and development, they will be small if they are stunted. Feeding has a greater impact on their size, and they need to provide food with adequate nutrients.
Map turtles have a longer life span, but their growth rate is relatively slow, and the age of sexual maturity is relatively late. Generally speaking, the map tortoise bred for five or six years can enter the stage of sexual maturity and have the ability to reproduce. But the specific time is not certain, there will be early or late mature map turtles. It should be noted that if the map turtle with reproductive ability is used for reproduction, the success rate of reproduction may not be too high, and older map turtles can be selected for reproduction. Each time they breed, they can lay 4-16 eggs, which takes a long time to hatch, an average of 60-75 days to hatch successfully, during which the environment needs to be kept suitable.
