Meanwhile, terrestrial box turtles, which are illegal to breed or keep as pets in more than 20 states, have a potential lifespan of up to 100 years, and an average longevity of 40 to 50 years in captivity. Several decades ago, however, that long lifespan expectation for pet turtles wasnât necessarily the case.
