The Brazilian turtle originated in the United States and is an omnivorous water turtle among sea turtles. I believe many turtle owners want to know where the life span of their Brazilian turtles is. There is a saying that turtles live long, but this is not the case. No matter how long the tortoise lives, it will live for various reasons.
In fact, the tortoise's life span is actually limited, and there is no rumor that it can live for 10 thousand years. Compared with other turtles, the life span of the Brazilian tortoise is shorter, because water turtles are usually shorter than turtles, and according to various data, the life span of the Brazilian tortoise is shorter among turtles, but at the same time, due to the breeding environment and the turtle's own situation, its life span will be extended or shortened. Brazilian tortoise is a common pet turtle. It is one of the most popular turtle species, because they are not only cheap, easy to breed, but also have a long life. Under normal circumstances, their life span is 10-35 years. In addition, if it is a wild species, the life span can be longer, reaching over 60 years old. However, if they grow up at home, their life span will be affected by the surrounding environment. Only by raising them correctly can they live a long life. Specifically, there are many factors that need to be paid attention to, and the more important ones are space, water level, water temperature and feeding. If they are not taken care of carefully, they may die prematurely, especially when they are ill.
In the absence of disease and living environment, the normal average life expectancy of Brazilian tortoises is about 25 years old, while the oldest Brazilian tortoises can live to 35 years old after investigation, and will not exceed 40 years old. Defined by turtles.
Then how do you know the age of your Brazilian tortoise? It can be inferred from the concentric lines on the turtle's back. Usually, a circle represents an age cycle, that is to say, a circle represents a year, and then count how many circles the newly born Brazilian tortoise has added. One year is the age of the Brazilian tortoise now, and then you can infer how long your Brazilian tortoise can live according to its life limit. However, this calculation method is only applicable to turtles with clear back lines and no heating constant temperature. This is more accurate.
In addition, it can be calculated by weighing and looking at the markings on the turtle's abdomen.
