The caved tortoise is a very ancient reptile. Overall, they are not too big. Generally speaking, in adulthood, the length of their carapace ranges from 21 to 24 centimeters, the width of their carapace ranges from 15 to 18 centimeters, and the height of its carapace is between 8.5 and 8.9 centimeters. Of course, there are bigger tortoises, but they are relatively uncommon.
Specifically, how big this kind of turtle can grow is not certain, and the above range is only a general range, not definite. Exactly how big they can grow is influenced by the environment. This tortoise is a protected animal, and the number of such tortoises living in the wild is not too large. The unsuitable wild environment will lead to their small size, which is also one of the important reasons for their endangerment. The turtles can also be raised in captivity, and their size can be affected by many environmental factors. However, compared with the wild, artificial breeding can often adjust the environment, more convenient.
Under normal circumstances, the sunken tortoise can live for a relatively long time, and it is a relatively long-lived tortoise species. However, their life span has a lot to do with the surrounding environment, if the environment is not suitable, it will lead to their life span shortened, or even directly lead to their death. As mentioned above, this turtle is an endangered species and a protected animal. The unsuitable wild environment for their growth is an important reason for their decline. If they are raised artificially, they need to provide a suitable environment so that they will not die young and live longer.
