The razor turtle can be raised at home. It is a relatively common species of turtle. They are not particularly large, but it is better to prepare a larger container for breeding. When they grow up, their size will generally be about 15 centimeters. Even if they live in a very suitable environment, there is a limit to the length of their body, generally not more than 20 centimeters.
When razor turtles are born, their body length is between 1.5 and 2 centimeters. They grow the fastest in the first year. To ensure that the water temperature is suitable and food is sufficient, they can grow about 5 centimeters a year. After that, their growth rate will slow down, and they can only grow about 1 centimeter a year.
Razor turtles can only reproduce after sexual maturity, and razor turtles enter sexual maturity at a relatively late age. Generally speaking, after five years of breeding, they have the ability to reproduce. However, this is only a rough age, different individuals into the age of sexual maturity is not necessarily. Some razor turtles are more precocious, and may be bred for four years or earlier to have reproductive capacity.
In addition, you can also judge by looking at the straight line length of the back of the razor turtle. Judging from this aspect, there are differences between male and female. Male razor turtles will be able to reproduce when their carapace length is more than 11 centimeters, while female turtles will be able to reproduce when their length is more than 9 centimeters, so we can try to breed them. However, in order to make the breeding effect better, we need to choose older razor turtles to try to breed.
