10 cm Brazilian tortoises are generally about 4-7 years, but the specific time should be judged according to their living environment and feeding methods. Under normal breeding conditions, the body length of Brazilian tortoises can reach 10 cm in 4-5 years.
If the tortoise is kept at constant temperature, it can mature in about 3 years. Because constant temperature feeding will eliminate their hibernation time, and the constant temperature environment is relatively stable, their growth and development speed is relatively fast.
If it is a Brazilian tortoise growing in the wild, it will take longer to grow to 10 cm, which takes about 6-8 years. Because the environment in the wild is unstable and there is not enough food, they will grow much more slowly.
It is impossible to accurately judge the age of Brazilian tortoises only by their body length. If breeders want to know the exact age of Brazilian tortoises, they can judge by the patterns on their carapace.
2. Brazilian tortoises can grow up in a few yearsGenerally, Brazilian tortoises can mature in about 5 years, and adult Brazilian tortoises can reproduce. If they are kept in a better environment and have enough food, they will develop and mature in a shorter time. Although they can mature in about 5 years, their body size will grow slowly. Under normal circumstances, the size of Brazilian tortoises will grow to about 8 years.
