Their sexual maturity may range from as early as three years. Depending on the species though, could be around 40 years before they mate.

The hatchlings spend much of their time in their mother's burrow until they're old enough to dig their own. They don't reach maturity until they are between 10 and 15 years old, when their shells are about 9 inches long.
