The red-legged tortoise is a long-lived tortoise. Under normal maintenance conditions, they can accompany their owners for a long time. Red-legged tortoises are also relatively easy to maintain. They are also more adaptable to the environment, if the growth environment and feeding food are more appropriate, they can live to about 50 years old.
The life span of wild turtles is different from that of captive turtles, and the life span of captive turtles is usually longer. Normally, most of them can live to 50-60 years old, and some turtles can even live to more than 70 years old.
The red-legged tortoise matures later. They will probably grow for about five years before they can reproduce. They will be particularly active when they enter the breeding season, and there will be competition between males. Generally, larger male tortoises can mate with female tortoises. They mate in the late summer and early fall and lay a variable number of eggs, about 5-15. Red-legged tortoises lay more eggs each year, about 2-4 times a year. The incubation time of tortoise eggs is about 120 days.
