CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it fast that my little alligator turtle grows 4 centimeters in a month?

1. Is it fast for my little alligator turtle to grow 4 centimeters in a month?

It is well fed and growing fast.

2. Can a one-year-old alligator snapping turtle grow to 13.5 cm? !

I don't know about hibernation, but it's definitely possible without hibernation. I just had a crocodile about four centimeters long on March 29th, and now on November 18th, its carapace is more than 12 centimeters long. I have been using the heating rod since mid-October, and I estimate that it will reach 16 centimeters in March next year. The heating rod is set to 29 degrees, and the growth rate is really exaggerated. I feed the lifeline and small fish fry. The small fish fry are fed the lifeline once every three days, except for the day I feed the small fish fry. I feed it every day. If the temperature is 29 degrees, you will find that the little crocodile is a pig.

3. How big can an alligator turtle grow?

Alligator snapping turtles are native to the United States and were introduced to my country in 1997. Currently, a small number of farmers in East China and South China have been raising them. There have been no reports of artificial breeding. The breeding environment of alligator snapping turtles is simple, and they have strong adaptability to temperature. They are not afraid of cold in winter and can hibernate naturally. They are not afraid of heat in summer, and they have strong disease resistance and grow fast.

The newborn size of a large alligator turtle is 8-10g, and the average adult size is 61-76cm, 77-91kg, with the largest recorded size being 79cm and 107kg (Brookfield Zoo, Chicago, USA). The average newborn size of a small alligator turtle is 3.3cm in shell length and 7.2g in weight (the smallest is 3.1cm, 5.8g, the largest is 3.7cm, 14.8g), and the average adult size is 31-46cm in shell length and 23-36kg in weight. In nature, the largest individual can weigh more than 38kg.

4. How long does it take for an alligator turtle to grow from a hatchling to 1 kg?

Small alligator turtles grow slowly when weighing less than 50 grams. It takes about 80 days to grow from 7 grams to 50 grams. Under temperature-controlled conditions, it only takes one year for a small alligator turtle weighing about 50 grams to grow to 2500 grams or a young turtle weighing about 7 grams to grow to 1500 grams on average.
