The price of wild soft-shelled turtle is related to its size and year. Generally, the longer the year, the more expensive the turtle. For example, small wild turtles weigh about 200-300 kg, medium-sized turtles weigh about 500 kg, and wild turtles weighing more than 3 kg weigh about 600 kg.

But with the change of environment, there are fewer and fewer wild turtles, which means the price will be higher. So if you want to eat soft-shelled turtle, it will be more cost-effective to choose artificially cultured soft-shelled turtle.
