Razor turtles are more suitable for breeding at home, because their size is not particularly large. Their life span is usually about 25 years. Under normal circumstances, that is to say, they can live to 25 years old without early death due to illness. If the environment is right, they will live longer, and it is possible to live for 30 years or more.
Whether they are wild species or cultured species, how long they can live will be affected by the surrounding environment. Although the average life span of wild species is longer, if the environment is harsh or heavily polluted, they can live for a shorter period of time. If you want razor turtles to live longer at home, you need to carefully maintain them, ensure that the water temperature, water quality and other surrounding environment are suitable, and provide nutritious food, so that they can live longer. Especially during the juvenile period, which is a period of special attention, they are more sensitive to the environment.
The adult time of the razor turtle is not certain, and the individual difference is relatively large. Generally speaking, five or six years of breeding razor turtles will generally enter the adult stage. In addition, it can also be judged by the length of their carapace, the length of the carapace of the adult razor turtle will be about 17 centimeters. You can also see their growth rate, the first few years of their growth rate is relatively fast, every year can be observed obvious growth phenomenon. After they become adults, they don't grow at all.
