my alligator snapping turtle was 8 inches in 2 yrs. at 3 he was about 12 inches. his growth slowed after that but at 5.5 yrs old he is just a tab below a 15 inch shell length. if you look at the other post their turtles are also much larger than that by 2-3 yrs of age. in the wild maybe they would be only 8 inches at 5 yrs old ( but the way snappers eat i bet a lot are larger) but we are talking about captivity man. they grow fast. :P
