If the growth environment provided and the food fed are suitable, most of them can live to about 50 years old.

The wild-grown red-footed tortoise and the captive-bred red-footed tortoise Legged tortoises have different lifespans, and generally live longer in captivity. Under normal circumstances, most red-footed tortoises can live to 50-60 years old, and some red-footed tortoises can even live to be more than 70 years old.
