There are so many 481Please respect copyright.PENANAwRd5FIGFIE
amazing animals to choose from, it's quite hard to choose a favourite 481Please respect copyright.PENANAx3A4LUBj6S
out of all of them. But if I was held at gunpoint and someone demanded 481Please respect copyright.PENANAJpXBJZYLsf
me to choose one, I'd have to go with a tortoise, the surface cousins of481Please respect copyright.PENANAuVFpzKOKcr
turtles.481Please respect copyright.PENANAP2MYK3DDdc
Now I wanted a tortoise 481Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y64jiWYW3
pet for a very long time now, but living circumstances haven't allowed 481Please respect copyright.PENANAqCSydN7Uc4
me to get one, yet at least. When I mentioned getting a tortoise to my 481Please respect copyright.PENANAdn3524Nrxk
family most of them laughed, since they don't see tortoises as very 481Please respect copyright.PENANAC5wRdGmv4o
active pets and they believed that it wouldn't do anything but just sit 481Please respect copyright.PENANAk5bbnO6vx2
out in the warm UV light getting a tan.481Please respect copyright.PENANAKi1fNqlP3g
And are they wrong? No! 481Please respect copyright.PENANA3ja5p3PqNx
But that's what makes them great pets, I can relate to wanting being in 481Please respect copyright.PENANAL8FfwhFzlr
the sun all day without a care in the world. Of course there's more to 481Please respect copyright.PENANAbkKWpLIkgG
tortoises than that, for example tortoises are known for their long 481Please respect copyright.PENANATVOWZvOsKP
lives. Pet turtles are known to live for around 80 years, while some 481Please respect copyright.PENANAYeMOt8qx29
larger species are known to have lived for 100s! Currently the oldest 481Please respect copyright.PENANAeMhWzNkzUc
tortoise, Jonathan, is about 187 years old. Tortoises, if well looked 481Please respect copyright.PENANAOBz2ts5Zds
after, can be companions for life, and not only your life but your 481Please respect copyright.PENANAZQAu63T1kx
children's lives as well.481Please respect copyright.PENANAmsXVlqaGnr
Now looking after a 481Please respect copyright.PENANARqdxFyJOPs
tortoise can have its challenges, as with any reptile. You should always481Please respect copyright.PENANAv1i14iYSul
make sure you have enough space in your enclosure, researching the 481Please respect copyright.PENANApGxQOZ43Hn
species should prevent any surprises as some can outgrow your wildest 481Please respect copyright.PENANAZeXLaKxToI
expectations, and that the enclosure has enough heat for your tortoise. A481Please respect copyright.PENANAGhqMUDOeB9
healthy diet of green goodness is also important for them as they are 481Please respect copyright.PENANAX2uoME2uW9
herbivores. Finally tortoises are not the friendliest pets, so they're 481Please respect copyright.PENANA3K4hJK2KY4
not the most cuddliest or appreciative of getting picked up, but I 481Please respect copyright.PENANAYrUhBEWso8
believe that they are completely worth it.
