The Brazilian turtle is a relatively common pet turtle. It is a popular species among many species of turtles, because they are not only cheap, the way of breeding is relatively simple, but also their life span is relatively long. Under normal circumstances, their average life span will be about 35 years. In addition, if they are wild species, they can live longer, up to 60 years or more.
However, if they are raised in families, their life span will be affected by the surrounding environment. Only when they are properly farmed can they live long. Specifically, there are many factors that need to be paid attention to, such as space, water level, water temperature and feeding. If they are not carefully cared for, they may die young, especially when they are sick.
There are many ways to judge the age of the Brazilian tortoise. The most common is to look at their abdominal stripes, each stripe shape is circle, you can count how many circles, generally speaking, each circle represents a year, a few circles represent their age is a few years old. You can also look at the concentric rings on their backs, which also represent one year, and count them. Of course, you can also look at their weight, but because their weight is greatly affected by the surrounding environment, sometimes it is not very accurate. Moreover, you can also see the color of their back patterns. Generally speaking, the clearer the pattern, the older the Brazilian tortoise is; The pattern is vague, and the age of the Brazilian turtle is relatively young. Of course, this method can only judge the general age, and can not determine the specific age of the Brazilian tortoise.
