The life span of alligator turtles is about 60-80 years. Alligator turtles belong to slow-growing varieties. For alligator turtles, they can live for 100 years or more at will. However, this statement is not entirely credible. There is no scientific verification or complete records. By far, the longest-lived alligator turtle is 60 years old. The life span of small alligator turtles will be shorter. The life span of small turtles with good living environment can reach about 50 years old. However, if the living environment is bad, small alligator turtles may only survive for 15 to 30 years.

Mata turtles live in a very bad environment in the wild, and it is also very difficult for them to survive. Xiaobian believes that they can live for 15-25 years, which is a long life.

There is an interesting legend in the world that the life span of the long necked turtle is inversely proportional to the length of its neck, that is, the shorter the neck, the longer the life span may be. This is also a language without scientific research. Basically, the life span of long necked turtles can reach 30 years old. If they are well raised in captivity, they may live longer.
