The tortoise itself has a relatively strong ability to endure hunger and disease, and has a relatively high ability to survive. Generally speaking, the life span of grass turtles raised in families is about 20 to 30 years old, but it does not rule out the case of 50 years old. Generally speaking, its life span is relatively long.
There are many factors that affect the age of the tortoise. On the one hand, it has its own genetic constraints, and the life span of grass turtles is largely affected by genes. On the other hand, its life span is also affected by later feeding. If the breeder can carefully raise, in the bait, environment and other aspects of the selection of the most suitable for the growth of tortoises, such as the use of live bait in bait selection, mainly meat, environmental control of water temperature, control of space range, etc., tortoises can live longer.
Generally, if you want to tell the age of a tortoise, you need to learn to look at its growth lines, that is, the lines on the tortoise shell layer by layer. These lines are generally on the turtle shell, a layer is one year old, how many layers are enough, plus the year it was born is the life span of the grass turtle. There are also some turtles to see the abdomen of a ring set of a ring of circles, there are a few circles is a few years old. Although there are different ways to identify the age, it takes patience to calculate the age of the tortoise.
