Nowadays, many people believe that turtles have a very long life span and are very easy to keep, so many people who are not very good at taking care of pets but want to keep one choose to keep a turtle. Because many people have a lot of misconceptions about turtles, which in turn leads to poor turtle keeping. So, how many years does a tortoise live? In fact, the normal lifespan of different species of turtles varies, but the normal lifespan of a domesticated turtle is a little longer than other pets under normal circumstances, but only about twenty years at most.
Many people may have doubts: but said a thousand years of tortoise? Should the turtle can live a very long time ah! In fact, the longest surviving tortoise has been found so far, the age is indeed nearly a thousand years, but that is a very rare species of tortoise, for the living environment requirements are very low, and basically will not do much movement, has been so lying down. The turtle that we keep at home is different and needs more environmental requirements, and there are many other things to consider.
Generally, turtles in the wild have a longer life span because they have previously chosen the perfect living environment for themselves, and the surrounding food, sand, water, air, etc. are all very suitable for turtles’ survival conditions, whether they are breeding or hibernating, they can live very comfortably.
But domestic or artificially bred turtles are different. If you want to raise a good turtle, you have to simulate its living environment to its natural form as much as possible, the size of the space, the quality of the air, the cleanliness and fluidity of the water source, the needs of food, etc., are all things that people have to figure out little by little, and a little carelessness may lead to health problems for the turtle, which will have a great impact on its life span.
Especially when turtles hibernate, if there is not a very good hibernation environment, the growth of turtles may be seriously hampered, too short hibernation or too long hibernation can lead to abnormal problems in the body of turtles, which in turn affects their lives, so generally the life span of artificially bred turtles or domesticated turtles will not be very long.
How many years does a tortoise live? So for how long the life of the turtle this issue, it can not be generalized, mainly depends on how the breeder to raise the turtle, if raised well, may live a lot longer; but if not raised well, then the life of the turtle may be very short, some of the turtle’s life may be shorter than you can imagine.
