The lifespan of swamp side-necked turtles can generally reach 40 years, and there are swamp side-necked turtles that survive longer, but they are not common. Specifically, the lifespan of swamp side-necked turtles is affected by the suitability of the surrounding environment. In comparison, swamp-side-neck turtles living in suitable environments have longer lifespans, while those living in unsuitable environments have shorter lifespans and even die at a very young age. . Therefore, in artificial breeding, if you want the swamp side-neck turtle to have a longer lifespan, you need to pay attention to the following three points when you raise it carefully.

1. The swamp side-necked turtle is an omnivorous animal and prefers to live Bait and meat, such as insects, aquatic snails, and fish and shrimp. Note that it must be disinfected, washed, and chopped before feeding. At the same time, you can also feed some vegetables, fruits, and turtle food. All in all, choose the food that the swamp side-necked turtle likes to feed in turn to maintain the diversity of food and the richness of nutrients.
2. During the breeding of swamp side-necked turtles, the water quality environment is a very important link. The quality of water quality directly affects the healthy growth of swamp side-necked turtles. Change the new water at least once a week, one-third of the total water is enough, don't change it all at once.
3. It is also important to adjust the temperature when raising swamp side-necked turtles. Changes in water temperature will affect their appetite and activity, and even affect the health of swamp side-necked turtles. The growing water temperature should be 26-28 degrees, which can be kept within this range. In winter, if the water temperature is too low, it can be adjusted by heating with a heating rod to keep the water temperature suitable.
