Brazilian turtles are harmful to humans, but they also have benefits:

1. The main hazard is that Brazilian turtles are carriers of salmonella. Salmonella is quite harmful and can kill.

2. But so far, I have not heard of anyone raising Brazilian turtles being infected and dying. It is mainly for children. People with weak body resistance may be infected if they fail to wash their hands frequently after coming into contact with Brazilian turtles, but it will definitely not be fatal. Therefore, just wash your hands after coming into contact with the Brazilian turtle.

Although the turtle's IQ is not very high, it is still a little bit smart. The Brazilian tortoise is the turtle with the highest IQ in the world. Because of its low price, the Brazilian tortoise is easy to keep and has become a pet turtle that is bred in large numbers. After being kept for a long time, it will be able to distinguish its owner and is relatively intelligent. If you buy a small Brazilian turtle and start raising it, and feed it every day, it will remember you. You have to feed it yourself so that it can tell the difference between you and others, and then it knows that you are the master. Once it recognizes you as its owner, it will follow you when you let it out to play, and there will be many interactions with you.

How long can Brazilian turtles live?

The lifespan of Brazilian turtles has been observed using the marking method. After 23 years of research, it was found that more than 10,000 turtles can live for 25 years. The above accounted for only 3.4; individuals who lived 20 to 24 years accounted for 7.3, those who lived 15 to 21 years accounted for 21.4. Those who lived less than 15 years accounted for about 68. Under breeding conditions, the life span of turtles can be longer. We start from I found on the Internet that Brazilian turtles that live longer can live up to 35 years.
