The golden-headed box turtle has a relatively long lifespan. Generally speaking, it can live for 40 to 60 years, and there are some cases of more than 60 years. Its lifespan is also affected by genes and later breeding, but it should be noted that some turtles bought from the market may not live to this average age, probably because they have already reached a certain age. No matter how long it can live, it needs to be carefully raised by the breeder.

How long can the golden-headed box turtle live? On the one hand, it is genetic influence. If the parental gene is better, it will live longer. On the other hand, it is affected by the later breeding. Having a more suitable living environment and paying more attention to diet, often feeding fish and shrimp food can help it grow better.
