The radiated tortoise can live 50 to 60 years and reaches adulthood at about 7 years. It is a tropical land turtle whose best temperature is 22 to 35 degrees C, so keep the environment in that range. Wild ones eat plant stems and leaves; in captivity feed mainly stems, leaves, melons, and vegetables such as sweet potato leaves, tomatoes, and lettuce, plus bananas..
