The lifespan of the money turtle is generally 30-80 years, and there is a dormant period. If the lucky money turtle encounters a good humid environment, plus the dormant period, it is said that it can live up to 100 years.

Let's take a look at the breeding habits of the money turtle!

The golden turtle grows slowly. Generally, the gonads mature and start mating after the age of 6. The mature golden turtle is active and feeding frequently from May to October. Mating starts at about 25°C. In June of the following year, when the water temperature rises to about 25°C, the female turtle starts to lay eggs. The egg-laying lasts until the end of July or the beginning of August. Eggs are laid 3-4 times in the whole period. Lays 3-4 eggs.
