The red-legged tortoise is a medium-sized tortoise. They eat a lot and grow relatively quickly. Under normal circumstances, most adult red-legged tortoises can reach about 30 centimeters in length, and the largest individual can reach about 50 centimeters in length.
They have two different subspecies. Because of the different growth environment, the size of the two subspecies is also different. Usually the old version of the red leg is larger, while the cherry red leg is smaller. The adult red-legged tortoise can grow up to about 20 centimeters in length.
The size of the red-legged tortoise will vary in different growth environments. The red leg, which usually lives in the southern part of the country, can reach about 50 centimeters long when it grows into an adult. The red leg, which lives in the north, is about 40 centimeters long when it grows into an adult. The Brazilian red leg is about 45 centimeters long when it grows into an adult. Cherry Red Legs are the smallest and can grow to 15-20 cm in length as adults. In addition, the male red-legged tortoise is larger than the female tortoise of the same species when it grows up.
