The life span of the Brazilian tortoise is relatively long, which can reach several decades under normal circumstances. In the process of breeding them, there are several ways to judge their age. First of all, you can tell by looking at the markings on their abdomen. The stripes on their bellies are usually in circles, and each circle usually represents one year old, which can be counted as their age. Of course, there will be occasional accidents, but the difference will not be too much. In addition, you can also see the stripes on their backs, which are ring-shaped, and each circle represents the same. In addition, there is a way to see the general age of Brazilian turtles, that is, to see the clarity of their back patterns. The clearer the pattern, the older they are, but this is not a specific age.
If the Brazilian tortoises are in a relatively young stage, then they can be distinguished from their appearance characteristics. For example, the back of the male turtle is relatively long, but relatively narrow; In contrast, the female turtle's carapace is shorter, but wider. And their tails, the male's tail is shorter than the female's tail.
When the Brazilian turtles are adults, there are many ways to distinguish the sexes, in addition to the above can be distinguished from the appearance, but also can look at their weight and color. In terms of weight, the weight of male turtles is relatively light, after adulthood will be about 1 kg; The weight of female turtles is relatively heavy, and they will be 2-4 kilograms when they grow up. In terms of color, male turtles become very dark when they grow up, which is darker than female turtles.
