559Please respect copyright.PENANANCMxH3Lz8Z
There are so many 559Please respect copyright.PENANAmv7sf24mJA
amazing animals to choose from, it's quite hard to choose a favourite 559Please respect copyright.PENANAY1pf1CXc2Y
out of all of them. But if I was held at gunpoint and someone demanded 559Please respect copyright.PENANAg2e3g5hCHq
me to choose one, I'd have to go with a tortoise, the surface cousins of559Please respect copyright.PENANASYIszwhOHe
turtles.559Please respect copyright.PENANA0wh0RmaBDT
Now I wanted a tortoise 559Please respect copyright.PENANA6r6c344mB7
pet for a very long time now, but living circumstances haven't allowed 559Please respect copyright.PENANAgkvh8JI9Iq
me to get one, yet at least. When I mentioned getting a tortoise to my 559Please respect copyright.PENANA5OgLn6y23P
family most of them laughed, since they don't see tortoises as very 559Please respect copyright.PENANAB3o4KxaFeF
active pets and they believed that it wouldn't do anything but just sit 559Please respect copyright.PENANAtDJtNQHG0h
out in the warm UV light getting a tan.559Please respect copyright.PENANAYB7J0UecbZ
And are they wrong? No! 559Please respect copyright.PENANAk0kd527QeP
But that's what makes them great pets, I can relate to wanting being in 559Please respect copyright.PENANAT3NJVmUYcH
the sun all day without a care in the world. Of course there's more to 559Please respect copyright.PENANA97eUQAtYB0
tortoises than that, for example tortoises are known for their long 559Please respect copyright.PENANA9Savl0xTOG
lives. Pet turtles are known to live for around 80 years, while some 559Please respect copyright.PENANAe4rbnOwQ7m
larger species are known to have lived for 100s! Currently the oldest 559Please respect copyright.PENANAfKAetdMbTr
tortoise, Jonathan, is about 187 years old. Tortoises, if well looked 559Please respect copyright.PENANAinflGc7kBA
after, can be companions for life, and not only your life but your 559Please respect copyright.PENANAEBGbTC2ZRn
children's lives as well.559Please respect copyright.PENANA4ql9O2vDJQ
Now looking after a 559Please respect copyright.PENANAwsauUPMhBP
tortoise can have its challenges, as with any reptile. You should always559Please respect copyright.PENANA5qGpou73Dm
make sure you have enough space in your enclosure, researching the 559Please respect copyright.PENANALdeUKfun0o
species should prevent any surprises as some can outgrow your wildest 559Please respect copyright.PENANArajZKOqqUk
expectations, and that the enclosure has enough heat for your tortoise. A559Please respect copyright.PENANAJRZLWhrJ5z
healthy diet of green goodness is also important for them as they are 559Please respect copyright.PENANA49U5MZ6Jxo
herbivores. Finally tortoises are not the friendliest pets, so they're 559Please respect copyright.PENANAs8lg0dSyKE
not the most cuddliest or appreciative of getting picked up, but I 559Please respect copyright.PENANA8NIHPXseQQ
believe that they are completely worth it.
