Most species of musk tortoise are small in size, which is suitable to be kept at home as a pet tortoise. However, different species of musk turtles have different body types. For example, "Mississippi musk turtle" has a body length of 7.6-11.4 cm in adulthood; "Giant musk turtle" is 8-13.5cm in size; The exception is the "giant musk turtle", which can be up to 40 cm in size. In addition, male and female body types are also different, and female turtles are generally larger. 1、 How big can musk turtle grow? Musk turtle is a common turtle species. They are very suitable for breeding at home as pet turtles. Most of their species are small in size, but there will be species differences, because different species of musk turtles will not only have certain differences in appearance, but also in size. For example, "Mississippi musk turtle" is a small musk turtle whose body length is generally between 7.6-11.4 cm after growing up; The adult size of the giant musk turtle is between 8-13.5cm, and its size is not particularly large; The exception is the giant musk turtle, which is very large and can reach a body length of about 40 cm in adulthood.
In addition to species differences, male and female will also affect their body size. Female turtles are relatively large. Male turtles generally grow smaller than female turtles in adulthood. In addition, for the artificially bred species, the growth of musk turtle is also affected by the breeding method. Provide a suitable environment for their growth and feed them regularly, so as to promote their growth and development, and they can grow larger. 2、 How old can musk turtle be cultured in deep water? Musk turtle is a kind of deep-water turtle, which can be cultured in deep water. However, when they are very young and are still in the period of young turtles, they cannot be cultured in deep water, and the water temperature should be strictly controlled. After they grow up, they can be cultured in deep water. Of course, the water level can not rise indefinitely after adulthood. Generally speaking, it can be controlled at 20-30cm, and the water can not be too deep, because there are still some differences between the cultured musk turtle and the wild musk turtle. （SheXiangGuiNengChangDuoDa，DuoDaKeYiShenShuiYangShi）
