Dead leaf turtle is a turtle species with very unique shape characteristics, because their shape and color are similar to dead leaves. It belongs to a large aquatic turtle. In adulthood, their body length will be about 40 cm. If the environmental conditions are suitable, their body length can reach about 46 cm. Whether wild or cultured, their body shape will be affected by the surrounding environment. 1、 How big can the dead leaf turtle grow? The dead leaf turtle is a turtle with very strange appearance characteristics. From the appearance, it is easy to recognize them as dead leaves, and their color is very similar to dead leaves, so they are named. If you want to breed them artificially, you need to know their properties and body shape first. The dead leaf turtle is a large aquatic turtle. In adulthood, their body size can reach about 40 cm under normal circumstances. If all conditions are suitable, their body length will be longer, perhaps up to 46 cm.
Whether it is a wild dead leaf turtle variety or an artificially cultured variety, their body size has a great relationship with the surrounding environment. For wild species, if the water they live in is more suitable for their growth and development, their size will be large; If the environment is not suitable, it will lead to their stunting. For artificially bred varieties, the breeding method will affect their body shape. The two most important factors are space and feeding. Living in too small containers, dead leaf turtles can't grow too big; If you don't choose nutritious food to feed them, they will also stunt. 2、 How old can the dead leaf turtle distinguish male and female? When the dead leaf Turtle was still young, it was basically impossible to distinguish male and female. If you want to distinguish between male and female, you need to do it after the gonads begin to develop, or wait until the differences in appearance between male and female turtles become obvious. In general, for artificially cultivated dead leaf turtle species, it takes 2-3 years to clearly distinguish male and female. Young, especially the newly born dead leaf turtle, can't distinguish between male and female. （KuXieGuiNengChangDuoDa，DuoDaNengFenGongMu）
