1. How big

can the Brazilian tortoise grow? The Brazilian tortoise is a common ornamental tortoise, which is popular with many breeders. Under normal circumstances, the length of this turtle is generally 20-30 centimeters. Their growth rate is moderate, generally 2-8 centimeters per year. When they are young, they grow faster.

After two years, healthy Brazilian tortoises can grow to the size of a computer mouse. After three years, they are about the same size as the bowl mouth.

2. How old

can the Brazilian tortoise live? The Brazilian tortoise is a common ornamental tortoise and is loved by many people. This is mainly because they have the advantages of low price, simple feeding and long life. They can live from 10 to 35 years when properly raised. If they grow naturally, they can live longer, and some can even live for about 60 years. However, if the feeding is not reasonable or the living environment is not suitable, it will shorten their life span. Therefore, in family feeding, we should pay attention to the reasonable living space for them. The height of the water level should be reasonable, not too high, and the water depth that can slightly soak them is just right.
