The Chinese tortoise lives 20-30 years, with some 50 years. The female Chinese tortoises raised under artificial conditions weigh about 3 jins and have a body length of about 28cm. The male turtles are smaller than the female turtles, weighing about one pound and about 15cm in length.

The Chinese tortoise's vitality is very tenacious, and the requirements for the environment are not high, but its longevity It takes about 7 years to reach sexual maturity, and the growth is very slow. Under normal hibernation, Chinese tortoises will live longer than non-hibernated Chinese tortoises, but young turtles are not recommended to hibernate due to their weaker bodies. It is best to wait until they grow up before hibernating normally.

When raising Chinese turtles, as long as the water quality is clean, regular feeding, and temperature control, the probability of Chinese turtles getting sick will be very small, and it can also prevent turtles from shortening their lifespan due to illness.
