The life span of the Russian tortoise is relatively long, and most of them can live for about 40 years. They are lively, adaptable to the environment is relatively strong, is relatively easy to maintain, generally as long as the growth environment is appropriate, usually do a good job of regular cleaning and nutritional supplements to them, most can live to more than 40 years old. Normally, the life span of wild turtles is slightly shorter than that of captive turtles, and wild turtles are more likely to have parasites, which can easily cause infection, thus increasing their mortality. Under the condition of artificial breeding, it is necessary to regularly clean and disinfect the areas where they live, so as to reduce the risk of infection, once infection occurs, timely isolation measures should be taken.
The Russian tortoise is a small tortoise, which can grow to about 18 centimeters long after adulthood. Because of the different living environment, the size of the tortoise growing in the wild and the tortoise raised artificially will be different, and the size of the tortoise raised artificially will be slightly larger. Under the condition of artificial feeding, the food provided is relatively rich and nutritionally balanced, in such a feeding environment, they can grow to about 20 centimeters long, and the turtles growing in the wild are usually smaller due to food constraints.
