The life span of Brazilian red-eared turtles is between 25 and 60 years, and how long they can live depends on their living environment. If it is a captive Brazilian red-eared turtle, its life span is generally about 25-35 years. Their longevity is longer than that of other tortoises, and illness rarely affects their longevity. When raised in captivity, most Brazilian red-eared turtles can live up to 35 years as long as the water temperature and quality are kept stable. If it is a wild Brazilian red-eared turtle, its life span will be longer, which can reach about 60 years. Because the wild environment is more suitable for their survival, and there is more space in the wild, which can make them develop better.

The body length of Brazilian tortoises is generally between 20-30 cm, and their body shape is also affected by environment, sex and feeding methods. Under normal breeding conditions, the body length of Brazilian tortoises can reach 20-30 cm. If there is not enough room for breeding, their body length will also decrease. Besides the feeding space, the feeding mode also has great influence on their growth and development. If there is enough food, they will grow bigger. If food is scarce, they will be smaller. In addition, the body length of male turtles and female turtles is also different when they are adults. Generally speaking, the body length of female turtles is more than 25 cm, and that of male turtles is generally about 20 cm.
