1. how big

can the male tortoise grow? When the male tortoise grows up, its carapace can grow to about 23 centimeters, its width is about 17 centimeters, and its weight can reach about 2.5-3.5 kilograms. The male tortoise is smaller than the female tortoise, and the female tortoise can reach 25-30 centimeters in length, so it is easy to distinguish between male and female tortoises when they grow up. The size of the tortoise is relatively large in the ordinary tortoise, but if the food is not enough and the tortoise is often sick, the tortoise can not reach the average size.

2. How long

can the tortoise live? The life span of the tortoise is slightly shorter than that of the ordinary tortoise. Generally, it can live for 20-30 years. There are also some well-bred tortoises, which can live for 40-50 years. How long they can live depends on the living environment. Generally, the life span of wild turtles is longer than that of domestic turtles, which can live for more than 50 years. However, the size of wild turtles is not as large as that of domestic turtles, because the living space in the wild is sufficient, but the food and nutrition are limited. The food of domestic turtles is sufficient, but the space is limited, so the two feeding methods have both advantages and disadvantages.
