Best Answer

There is no way to tell how old a sea turtle is or even how long they live. The best estimate is that they can be up to eighty years old when they die. There are no rings or lines on a turtle shell that increase with age to tell how old the turtle is. A typical sea turtle reaches breeding age around 25-30 (for loggerheads). After a turtle does become an adult, it is anyone's guess how old it is.

How can you tell if a green sea turtle is a female or male?

If you have a turtle i can show you how you can tell sea turtles apart by gender....if not then find a picture of a sea turtle turned on its back.... IF YOU HAVE A SEA TURTLE PLEASE READ BELOW: Turn over your turtle and you should see its tail with a dot on the bottom. If the dot is at the top of the tail like up close to its shell it is female....if it has a dot lower from its shell it is a male sea turtle.
