can the Brazilian tortoise grow in a year? Most Brazilian tortoises can grow 5 centimeters in a year. Turtles live in different environments and grow differently. When they are still young turtles, as long as the temperature is suitable, the water is clean and pollution-free, and the nutrition supply is sufficient, the growth rate will be surprisingly fast, basically one centimeter a month.
When they are adults, the growth rate will be much slower, and some even have stopped growing, basically up to 5 centimeters a year. If you live in a relatively low temperature environment, you will grow less than 5 centimeters a year, or even stop growing. In addition, the size of the Brazilian tortoise will affect the beauty, so it is not the bigger the better.
can Brazilian tortoises live? Brazilian tortoises generally live to 20 to 30 years old. Compared with other kinds of tortoises, their life span is still relatively short. They are an alien species, which is quite different from the native tortoises we see every day. The native tortoises generally have a long life span. Although their life span is generally between 20 and 30 years old, if the water is polluted and the diet is problematic, their life span will be greatly shortened. If they live in a suitable environment and eat a high-quality diet, they may live to 35 years old.
