Turtles can live up to 150 years old.

But it cannot be generalized. It mainly has a lot to do with the species of turtle, breeding environment, etc. For example, large land turtles have a longer lifespan, while small pet turtles have a shorter lifespan, generally around 12 to 90 years. Therefore, turtle owners must learn to raise turtles correctly. For example, when the temperature is below 15°C, the turtle will stop eating and enter the hibernation period. Do not wake the turtle frequently at this time, as it will shorten the turtle's life, so a quiet environment is very important. At the same time, when changing the water for the turtle, the temperature of the water should not vary too much.

In order to rank the lifespan of turtles according to species, the first place is definitely sea turtles. Among all species of turtles, sea turtles have the longest average lifespan, able to survive for about 80 to 20 years. It mainly lives in the sea. The head, neck and limbs of this kind of turtle cannot be retracted into the shell, and it feeds on seaweed.

Hibernation of turtles

When the temperature drops below 13°C, turtles begin to hibernate. During the entire winter, their head, tail, and limbs are retracted into their shells, and their eyes are closed. It does not eat, move or excrete, and does not move until it emerges from the sting. If the environment is not suitable, it will be difficult to enter hibernation. The suitable hibernation temperature for turtles is 1 to 10°C.

A temperature higher than 10℃ can easily cause the turtle to wake up, which will consume physical energy and cause the turtle's physical condition to decline, which will be detrimental to the growth and reproduction in the coming year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during a hibernation period will also cause the death of the turtle. Temperatures below 0°C will cause frostbite to the turtle or even freeze to death. Therefore, when setting up a hibernating place for turtles artificially, possible temperature changes must be taken into consideration. Although it may look a bit dirty, mud is their favorite for turtles.
