In order to understand the Brazilian turtle more carefully, the American reptile ecologist J.W. Professor Gibbons (1987) once used a symbolic method to measure the life span of Brazilian turtles. After 23 years of research, he found that only 3.4% of more than 10,000 turtles could live for more than 25 years; those who lived for 20-24 years Individuals account for 7.3%, those who can live 15-21 years account for 21.4%, and those who can live less than 15 years account for 68%. Naturally, under specific feeding conditions, the life span of Brazilian turtles may be longer.
The Brazilian turtle has a round head, a blunt snout, yellow and green vertical stripes on its head and neck, and a pair of red stripes behind its eyes. The total length of the Brazilian turtle is about 15-25cm. The head, neck, hands, feet and tail are all covered with yellow and green stripes of uneven thickness. Female individuals can weigh up to 1000-2500 grams. Naturally, different Brazilian turtles also have some differences in body shape and weight.
