Female tortoises generally have a carapace length of 20-25 cm, a width of 18-20 cm, and a height of 10 cm. Male tortoises are smaller, with a carapace length of 20-23 cm, a width of 17 cm, and a similar height, which can grow to about 10 cm. The life span of family turtles can generally reach 20-30 years, and that of wild turtles can reach 50 years.
How big can the turtle grow and how long can it live?

1. How big

can the tortoise grow? The tortoises with different personalities have different sizes. Generally, the female tortoise is bigger than the male. The female tortoise's carapace length can reach 20-25 cm, the width can reach 18-20 cm, and the height is generally 10 cm. Males are 2-3 centimeters smaller, but it depends on the environment and food. If the environment is suitable and the food is sufficient, the length of male turtles can reach 25 centimeters.

2. How long

can tortoises live? Domesticated tortoises have a shorter life span, which can only live for 20-30 years. Wild tortoises have a longer life span, which can live for 50 years or more. However, if the living environment is better and the turtle's physique is better, the life span can also reach more than 30 years. If the living environment is poor, the food is not enough, and it is easy to get sick, the life span will be reduced a lot.

3. when does the turtle lay eggs

? Generally, the turtle can lay eggs in 5-10 years. The specific time depends on the feeding environment. If it is family feeding, it usually takes only 5 years to mature, because the family feeding food is sufficient. If it grows naturally in the wild, it usually takes 7-10 years, because the food in the wild is relatively scarce, and the nutrient content in the food is less, so the growth and development will be relatively slow.
