The life span of captive tortoises is about 20-30 years, and how long they can live is affected by their physique and feeding environment. Brazilian tortoises have low environmental requirements and strong adaptability, so the breeding environment will not have much impact on their life span. However, illness will have a great impact on their growth and life span. If it is a tortoise that is often sick, its physique will deteriorate, and its life span will be shorter, usually about 20 years. If it is a Brazilian tortoise with good physique, its life span will be longer, about 30 years.
Although the life span of captive breeding is short, the life span of wild Brazilian tortoises is still relatively long, and the general life span is about 60 years.
2. How can Brazilian tortoises live for a long time1. Comfortable environment: If Brazilian tortoises want to live for a long time, they must ensure a comfortable living environment. Breeders need to keep the water temperature between 20-30 ℃ and change the water regularly to ensure clean water quality. However, the amount of water should not exceed half every time, otherwise the fluctuation of water quality will also affect their normal life.
2. Disease prevention: Although Brazilian tortoises have strong ability to resist diseases, their physique is still weak in childhood, so breeders need to check them regularly at an early age to avoid getting sick. If illness is found, early treatment is needed.
