  1. It depends on the species of tortoise that you are talking about. Usually tortoises live any where from 50 to about 175-200 years. If you are thinking of getting one they are a big commitment and a long one. They are amazing animals and are good pets. If you can make the commitment then I would get one. Just check in the species you want to find their life expectancy.


  2. First of all there are hundreds of different species of tortoises and each type of species vary in their life span.  they are mainly divided into two type.. land tortoise and water tortoise ( turtles ).   Generally the life span of a tortoise is around 15 - 20 years..  but then there are Galápagos tortoise also known as Giant tortoise whose life span is supposed to be around 200 years.

  3. tortoises live for about 50 years in captivity but if fed the right  diet can live for up to 75+ years

  4. What kind of Tortoise.  Range from 40yrs to almost 200.  Depends on the type, living and lighting conditions, food and supplements
