The Brazilian tortoise grows in different environments, and the time required to grow to 20 cm is also different. If Brazilian tortoises live naturally in the wild, it will take 10 years for them to grow to 20 cm. Although there is plenty of space in the natural environment, there is less food and nutrition, and they will hibernate in winter, so the growth speed will be slower.
If it is raised artificially and can ensure sufficient food, even if Brazilian tortoises hibernate naturally every year, it only takes about 6 years for them to grow to 20 cm. If they are kept stable and kept from hibernating in captivity, they may grow to 20 cm in 3-5 years.
2. What is the maximum length of Brazilian tortoiseThe maximum length of Brazilian tortoise can be between 20-30 cm, depending on the breeding space and environment. If the feeding space, food and nutrition are sufficient and the environment is comfortable, their body length will reach more than 20 cm or even 30 cm. If the breeding environment is poor and the space is relatively small, the body development of Brazilian tortoises will be limited, and it may only grow to 20 cm.
