Leopard Tortoise (Geochelone pardalis)

Size: Adults can reach 18-24 inches long..
Housing:  The recommended temperature range is 75-90 degrees F, with a basking area of 100 degrees F.  High and constant levels of light and warmth are a must.  Low humidity levels are needed.  A water dish should be offered for soaking, but not above the tortoise's head. 

Indoor tank should be 50 gallons minimum.  Should only be kept outdoors during summer or in "tropical" environments.
Food: Herbivores.  Alfalfa, grass, flowers, some fruit, and vegetables (especially dark leafy greens).   Feed fruit sparingly for best health.  No meat should be given, and protein-rich veggies (like beans or sprouts) should not make up a large portion of their diet.  Keep in mind that their natural diet is made up of coarse, high fiber grassland/desert plants. Lifespan: Up to 40 years.
Behavior:  Do not hibernate, but must be kept warm year round to maintain activity and metabolism.

Very informative. is it possible for them to live longer then 40 years with certian care.

is it possible for them to live longer then 40 years with certian care.

Yea, sure as these animals live over a 100 years in the wild. The problem is that captive kept Tortoises can expect to live less than half its normal life span of the wild counterparts.
The reason being is that these animals have few to no enemies as an adult and will travel vast areas in its lifetime. This foraging on a variety of vegetation means a variable diet and is an advantage to longevity for them.

So what if a captive turtle was fed a wide variaty of foods would that get it to live longer. Cause my gfs turtle is ike atleast 70 and still kicking

I personally do not think this would be that important as the diet of a turtle is some what different to a Tortoise
