CATDOLL: Do alligator snapping turtles grow fast? How big can they grow?

The growth rate of the snapping turtle is relatively fast in its infancy. It only takes about 9-12 months for it to grow from a seedling to 10 cm. After 10 cm, their growth rate will accelerate, and they can grow about 15 cm a year. After they grow for 3-5 years, their body length can reach more than 40 cm. At this time, their growth rate will slow down, and they can only grow a few centimeters a year. If they are not raised properly, they may stop growing. 1. Does the snapping turtle grow fast? The growth rate of the snapping turtle is relatively fast compared to other turtles, especially in childhood, when the growth rate is the fastest. After adulthood, the growth rate will slow down. When the snapping turtle is just born, it is about 2-3 cm. It only takes 9-12 months for them to grow to 10 cm. After 10 cm, their growth rate will be even faster, and they can grow about 10-15 cm a year. Some properly raised ones can grow more than 15 cm. However, after they grow at this rate for 3-5 years, the growth rate will slow down, and they can grow about a few centimeters a year. If the breeding environment is poor or the breeding method is incorrect, they may grow slower or even stop growing.

2. How big can the alligator snapping turtle grow? The alligator snapping turtle is relatively large. Their adult length is about 38-66 cm and their weight is between 45-75 kg. Compared with other turtles, it is considered to be a relatively large one. But how big they can grow depends on the environment they live in. Because they live in different environments, their body lengths are also different. Generally speaking, the body length of artificially bred ones will not exceed 66 cm, because the space for artificial breeding is not sufficient, so they cannot develop a large body size. The body length of those living in the wild will be larger, because the space for the alligator snapping turtles living in the wild is large and will not affect the development of their body size.
