is the life span of money turtles? The life span of money turtles is very long. Generally, their life span is between 30 and 80 years. Moreover, this time has not been added to their dormancy period. If this time is added, the money turtle can live for about 100 years. But this kind of tortoise is weak in the young stage and is very easy to get sick, so it is necessary to take good care of them to avoid their death due to illness. Wild money turtles may live longer if they grow in their natural environment. Money turtles have a long growth cycle and late sexual maturity.
? The way money turtles breed is oviparous. A mature female money turtle can lay 3-9 eggs per year. Under normal circumstances, the ratio of female to male tortoises during breeding is 4:1. This kind of tortoise generally lays eggs only once a year, but a few individuals, large and well-nourished female tortoises can lay eggs twice, with an interval of 15-45 days. Female tortoises that are about to lay eggs usually choose to climb into the sand at night to lay eggs and collect them in time the next morning. The eggs can be hatched in an incubator with a height of about 40 cm, and the bottom of the incubator should be covered with fine sand with a thickness of 20 cm. The eggs are densely arranged, buried in 3cm of sandy soil, covered with a wet towel, sprinkled twice a day, kept at a humidity of 75% -80%, and the temperature is preferably controlled at about 27-28 deg C, so that the turtles can be hatched after 60-70 days.
