The life span of leopard-print tortoises is generally 30-60 years, which is regarded as a relatively long-lived tortoise species. But how long they can live depends on the environment in which they live and the way they are raised. Leopard tortoises like wild tortoises have the longest life span, which can generally live for about 40-60 years, and some even live for more than 60 years. The life span of captive leopard tortoises is mostly between 30 and 40 years. If they are properly raised and have good physique, it is possible to live to 50 years. If the breeding environment is harsh and leopard tortoises are more likely to get sick, their life span will be relatively reduced.
2. How big can leopard tortoises growAdult leopard tortoises generally grow to 46 cm and weigh 40 pounds, that is, 18 kilograms. There are also records that leopard-print tortoises can be as long as 70 cm and weigh as much as 54 kg. In addition, a leopard-print tortoise with a body length of 100 cm was found in Ethiopia, but this is a rare case. Under normal circumstances, the leopard-print tortoise can only grow to 40-50 cm.
If breeders want leopard-print tortoises to grow bigger, they need to feed them more food. They are herbivorous turtles, and they mainly like to eat some herbs. Breeders can usually feed them some vegetables, fruits, roots and other foods.
