If it is a Brazilian tortoise living in the wild, the adult time will be relatively long, about 10 years. Breeders can also judge by the size of the plastron of the Brazilian tortoise. Generally, the plastron of the adult Brazilian tortoise can reach 25-35 cm.

2. How do Brazilian tortoises breed

? Brazilian tortoises usually breed from May to August every year. An adult female Brazilian tortoise can lay 3-19 eggs at a time. When the Brazilian tortoise matures, it will pair itself, and when it is successful, it will mate. When mating, the male Brazilian tortoise will discharge sperm directly into the female cloaca, and then complete the mating. About a month after successful mating, Brazilian tortoises begin to prepare to lay eggs. Before laying eggs, they will choose a soft ground, then dig a hole in the ground and lay eggs in the hole. After laying eggs, they will cover the eggs with soil and let them hatch by themselves. It takes about two months for Brazilian tortoises to hatch in the natural environment.
