I saw a thread on one of the Chinese forum claimed that he own a Cuora flavomarginata for over 20 years.
How long is the average life span of them?
Just wondering! ! !!

I don't keep the species. But any chelonian can live to be decades old with ease. American box turtles are known to very long lived, but whether the Asian box/Cuora genus enjoys the same long lives is unknown to me.
Any chelonian can reach 20-30 years with ease, given proper care. To be honest 20 years is a pretty short life span for most species.
I have a male RES that is 16 yo... Predicting at least 20 more. As long as they have good care, they can reach over 30.Thank you for the reply. So they have much longer life span and not like RES may only live +- 15 years??
Thank you. So looks like our RES will have quite few years to kick around.I have a male RES that is 16 yo... Predicting at least 20 more. As long as they have good care, they can reach over 30.
Yep!Thank you. So looks like our RES will have quite few years to kick around.
