CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How long can a turtle live? What is the lifespan of common ornamental turtles?

1. How long can a turtle live? How long is the life span of common ornamental turtles?

There are many types of turtles, and the life span of different turtles is different. Take the Brazilian turtle as an example. Its life span is usually less than 15 years, but if it is well raised, it can live for about 25 years. The life span of the map turtle is slightly shorter, and it can only live for 15-20 years. This is also related to the fact that they are not easy to raise. There are also many turtles with longer life spans, such as the golden coin turtle and the flame turtle. They can live for about 30 years, and some can even live to 50 years old. 1. Brazilian turtle Most Brazilian turtles have a life span of less than 15 years, and a few can live for about 25 years. This turtle has a wide head, a relatively blunt snout, and red patches behind the eyes. It has a lively temperament and is more active than domestic freshwater turtles. At the same time, it is very sensitive. Once frightened, it will dive into the water and has the characteristic of hibernation in winter.

2. Map turtles There are many types of map turtles, such as masked map turtles, caracal map turtles, yellow-spotted map turtles and ringed map turtles. Their lifespan is generally between 15 and 20 years. Because of their poor tolerance to water quality, water should be changed frequently when raising them. In addition, if there is too much noise in the growth environment, it will also affect its lifespan.

3. Golden coin turtles generally have a lifespan of 30-50 years and are mainly found in the southern coastal areas of my country. This turtle has a mixed diet and is mainly fed with animal feed, such as viscera, lean meat, fish, shrimp, snails, clams, etc., and also with sweet potatoes, potatoes, vegetables and fruits. In addition, attention should be paid to supplementing vitamins and inorganic salts.

4. Flame turtle The flame turtle can live for about 30 years. This turtle is native to North America and usually grows in rivers or lakes. It is an omnivorous turtle that can eat snails, insects, small fish, and water fleas. This turtle has strong heat and cold resistance and does not require a high environment, so it is relatively easy to raise. As long as the water is clean and there is enough food, it will be fine.

2. How much can a golden coin turtle grow and how long can it live?

The weight of the golden coin turtle can reach about 3 jin after adulthood. How big it can grow depends on the environment in which it lives and how it is raised. Generally speaking, wild golden coin turtles are lighter. Although the environment in the wild is suitable for their growth, food is relatively scarce, so their weight after adulthood is about 2-3 jin. Artificially raised golden coin turtles have more food and a more stable living environment, and their weight after adulthood is generally 3-4 jin.

1. How big can a golden coin turtle grow? The average weight of an adult golden coin turtle is about 3 jin, but some golden coin turtles with good genes can weigh up to 6 jin if they live in a comfortable environment. How big they can grow depends on the way they are raised and the environment in which they live. If it is a golden coin turtle living in the wild, its weight is about 2-3 jin. Although the environment in the wild is more comfortable, food and nutrition are relatively scarce, so its weight will not be too heavy after adulthood. Artificially raised golden coin turtles have sufficient food and nutrition, and their living environment is relatively stable, so their body size will be larger, and their weight will be about 3-4 jin after adulthood.

2. How long can the golden coin turtle live? The life span of the golden coin turtle is relatively long compared to other turtles, and their life span is about 70 years. They have a strong ability to adapt to the environment. If the environment is relatively suitable, their life span may reach about 100 years. Whether it is a wild golden coin turtle or an artificially bred one, the breeding environment will have a greater impact on them. If the environment is relatively bad, their life span will be reduced. If the breeder wants them to live longer, they must ensure that the environment they live in is comfortable.

3. How much can a turtle grow in a year under normal circumstances?

It depends on what kind of turtle you have. The maximum lifespan of a sea turtle is about 150 years, the lifespan of an elephant tortoise is more than several hundred years, the lifespan of an ordinary red-eared slider sold on the market is 20-30 years, the lifespan of a golden coin turtle is 30-80 years, the lifespan of an alligator snapping turtle and an Asian giant tortoise is nearly 200 years, the average lifespan of a shaved turtle is 25 years, the lifespan of a long-necked turtle is generally around 30 years, the lifespan of a leatherback turtle and a Galapagos tortoise is 150 to 300 years, and the lifespan of a map turtle is generally around 15 years. There are other turtles that I won't mention one by one.

IV. Lifespan table of common turtles

In life, some people like to raise turtles, so how long is the life span of specific turtles? Let's take a look.

01 Alligator snapping turtle: Also known as true alligator snapping turtle, it has a lifespan of about 60 to 80 years. Some alligator snapping turtles bred in captivity can live up to 60 years. It is said that alligator snapping turtles are a slow-growing species of turtle, so if they grow healthily, their lifespan can reach over 100 years.

02 Alligator snapping turtle: Also known as the false alligator turtle, it has a lifespan of about 45 to 50 years. In artificial breeding, the lifespan of the alligator snapping turtle is relatively longer. If it is a small alligator snapping turtle in the wild, the lifespan is about 15 to 30 years.

03 Long-necked turtle: also known as snake-necked turtle, the lifespan is about 30 years. Under artificial feeding, the lifespan of long-necked turtles is relatively long. According to the experience of people who raise long-necked turtles, the length of the long-necked turtle's neck is inversely proportional to its lifespan. The shorter the long-necked turtle's neck, the longer its lifespan.

04 Red-eared slider: Originated from Brazil, its lifespan is about 15 years. According to statistics, the longest lifespan in captivity is 35 years.

05 Grass turtle: It is the so-called turtle, with a lifespan of about 20 to 30 years. Flower turtle also belongs to grass turtle. According to statistics, the longest lifespan of artificial turtles is 50 years. Grass turtle is a relatively common turtle species, and its lifespan varies.

06 Yellow-margined box turtle: With a lifespan of about 40 to 60 years, the yellow-margined box turtle is also a relatively common type of turtle. It likes to interact with people, is lively and active, is not afraid of humans, and has an optimistic personality that can eat and drink.

07 Turtle: Also known as the tortoise, it has a lifespan of about 60 years. It is also the most well-known type of turtle. From ancient times to the present, turtles have existed for a long time. There are also some very rare turtles with beautiful appearance, which makes them quite expensive.

08 Pig-nosed turtle: The lifespan is about 25 to 30 years. The carapace of a wild pig-nosed turtle can grow up to 50 cm, so it is a large turtle. The lifespan of artificially raised pig-nosed turtles is extremely limited due to the size of the turtle tank, extreme aggressiveness, strict water quality requirements, and slow growth of turtle seedlings. The history of breeding pig-nosed turtles is actually very short. After all, it is a species that has just been overcome by humans in artificial breeding.

09 Burmese tortoise: Its lifespan is 30 to 50 years. It is rather troublesome to raise it artificially. The best one among them is over 100 years old in Australia.

10 Side-necked turtle: Its lifespan is about 30-50 years. The longest lifespan recorded in the past was 70 years, but that is very rare.

11 Sea turtles: Their lifespan is approximately 80 to 120 years. Sea turtles also include large marine turtles such as hawksbill turtles. The longest record is 152 years. There are very few sea turtles raised in captivity.

12 Four-eyed turtle: Its lifespan is about 20 to 30 years. It is a common species and is widely raised.

13 Saw-edged turtle: Its lifespan is about 30 to 40 years. The carapace of the Saw-edged turtle will stop growing when it reaches 25 cm, which means it will no longer grow after the age of 25.

14 Musk: The lifespan is about 15 to 25 years. Humans have only been studying musk turtles for about 30 years, so there is still a lot we don’t know much about them.

15 Razor: The lifespan is about 15 to 25 years. The longest lifespan in captivity is about 50 years. It is also a type of turtle that many people like to raise.

16 Spotted Pond: The lifespan is about 20 to 30 years. There is very little data on the study of spotted ponds. I hope that more and more information about spotted ponds will be available soon.

17 Yellowthroat: The lifespan is about 30 to 50 years. The longest lifespan in artificial breeding is up to 20 years. It is also a relatively popular type of turtle. The physique is not very good, but it is a very cute breed.

18 Eaglebill: Its lifespan is about 30 to 40 years. It is very difficult to raise an eaglebill and it has very high requirements for water quality.

19 Star tortoise: Also known as radiated tortoise, it has a lifespan of about 50 years. If you want to raise a star tortoise, you must rigorously learn about tortoises, such as acid excretion, temperature control, etc. Only in this way can the star tortoise grow well.

20. Malayan Snail: It has a lifespan of about 20 to 30 years and is a very rare type of turtle in artificial breeding.

21 Sub-giant: The lifespan is about 20 to 30 years, and the longest lifespan is only 30 years.

22 Golden Coin Turtle: Also known as the closed-shell three-line turtle, it has a lifespan of about 30 to 50 years. I heard that if the environment is suitable, it can live to over 100 years old in a dormant state. If the golden coin turtle is raised well, its value is also very high.

23 Amb: The lifespan is about 50 years, and the maximum lifespan is only 50 years.

24 Western Painted Turtle: Its lifespan is about 15 to 20 years. It has a very beautiful appearance, but the lifespan of this type of turtle is relatively short.

25 Diamond pattern: The lifespan is about 15 to 20 years, which is not high.

26 Sulcata: The lifespan is about 30 to 40 years, and some can reach 54 years. The record was set in 1986 at the Giza Zoo in Egypt.

27 MATAMATA: The lifespan is about 15 to 25 years. It is extremely difficult for MATAMATA to survive in the wild, but it also needs to be carefully kept at home, and the pH value must be controlled at 5.5-6.5. The water quality requirements are also very high.

28 Red-legged tortoise: The life span can be over 40 years. In captivity, the life span can be even longer. I heard that there are red-legged tortoises that are 135 years old. It is a very popular tortoise species.
