The Brazilian red-eared turtle is a species of turtle with relatively good adaptability, and they are relatively easy to raise. However, their life span is generally not too long, and they are not particularly long-lived turtles in all turtle species. Generally speaking, their life span is concentrated between 10-20 years, more under 15 years, and even some can not live for 10 years. However, there will also be a relatively long life of the Brazilian red-eared turtle, life can reach 25 years, or even more.
How long the Brazilian red-eared turtle can live is affected by the surrounding environment. Whether they are wild species or cultured species, they can live long only when the environment is suitable. For Brazilian red-eared turtles raised in families, their longevity is mainly affected by the way they are raised. If you want them to live longer, you have to take good care of them. The more important period is in the young tortoise period, when they are prone to illness, need special attention to maintenance, they will not die because of illness.
In terms of length, the body length of the adult Brazilian red-eared turtle is generally between 25-35 cm. Therefore, after judging whether they are adult or not, we can look at their body length. If they are between 25 and 35 centimeters long, and there is no sign of their growth for a long time, then they are adult. However, due to individual differences, their length is not certain, so there is a certain error in judging whether they are adult or not. In terms of age, under normal circumstances, Brazilian red-eared turtles bred for 3-4 years are in the adult stage.
