The average age of Brazilian tortoises raised at home can reach about 35 years, and if they are wild, their life span can reach about 60 years. But the specific life span depends on the way of breeding and living environment, if they often get sick, their life span will be greatly reduced. If the feeding environment is good, they can generally live for more than 30 years. The Brazilian tortoise is relatively easy to raise, does not require a high environment, and has a strong reproductive capacity, so it is a popular ornamental tortoise.
How many years can the Brazilian tortoise live and how big can it grow?

1. How many years

can Brazilian tortoises live? Farmed Brazilian tortoises can live for 30-40 years, and wild ones can live for 60 years or even longer. Because artificial breeding can not be compared with nature in terms of space, water temperature and water quality, but if they are carefully raised and provided with a good living environment, they may also live for more than 40 years. If the breeding environment is poor and the Brazilian tortoises are often sick, their life span will be reduced a lot.

2. How big

can Brazilian tortoises grow? Brazilian tortoises can grow up to 40-50 centimeters, but their body length can only reach 15-30 centimeters and their weight can reach 300-500 grams. Wild Brazilian tortoises can reach 40-50 centimeters in size and 1-2 kilograms in weight. Because wild Brazilian tortoises have plenty of space, the water temperature and quality are also very suitable.

3. How to judge the age

of a Brazilian tortoise? To judge the age of a Brazilian tortoise, you can first look at the stripes on its abdomen, because the stripes on its abdomen are all round. One circle represents one year old. You can count how many circles there are. You can also look at the pattern on the back. The pattern on the back is also circular. It is also a circle of one year old. The breeder can compare the back with the abdomen, so that the age can be calculated more accurately. It can also be judged by the depth of the back pattern. Generally, the shallower the pattern, the shorter the age, and the clearer the pattern, the older the age.
