The typical lifespan of a swamp box turtle is around 35 years. If the environment is suitable, it may live a little longer.

After talking about the lifespan of the swamp box turtle, let's talk about the life of the swamp box turtle habit. Swamp box turtles live in rivers and places where sediment allows aquatic plants to thrive, such as swamps and wetlands. The swamp box turtle is a semi-aquatic species of turtle that sometimes floats on the surface and uses air to change the size of the lungs to allow gas exchange in the respiratory system. Swamp box turtles are omnivorous, eating insect larvae, crustaceans, fish, and aquatic plants, and sometimes foraging on land.
