ekiddie, actually the snapper grow rate depend on your feeding and where you house it as well, just like what Uzairi mentioned earlier. The more you feed the growth rate is sure faster. Like mine i only feed them fishes and maintain them in small aquarium thus they dont grow more than 5 inch even after i'd had them for almost 5 years now. They are just fine and they adapt to the environment very well.

Common does not grow as big as Ally Snapper but they are aggresive turtles. Cute when they are young

Thats really cute! Thanks for sharing with us hwa.

Biggest should be my Male Asian Giant Pond Turtle which is around 20 Inch SCL. The measurement is around that size, not sure the exact size. Later im going back so i will take the pic from my sis's hp and upload and calculate the real size of my Grandis.

Im glad to adopt ur turtles/tortoise and take care f them for u.

Ally babies are hard to find now, prolly because of them keeping it to monitor the market price.
