There are so many 612Please respect copyright.PENANAtOPfjEwIlH
amazing animals to choose from, it's quite hard to choose a favourite 612Please respect copyright.PENANADD5ao7z9he
out of all of them. But if I was held at gunpoint and someone demanded 612Please respect copyright.PENANAM0cGVdFVik
me to choose one, I'd have to go with a tortoise, the surface cousins of612Please respect copyright.PENANAlLVKLrBcHL
turtles.612Please respect copyright.PENANAW4cuxuJ3Bc
Now I wanted a tortoise 612Please respect copyright.PENANAPy5t7hVonT
pet for a very long time now, but living circumstances haven't allowed 612Please respect copyright.PENANA5ilku1FZLS
me to get one, yet at least. When I mentioned getting a tortoise to my 612Please respect copyright.PENANA636OfEq3pq
family most of them laughed, since they don't see tortoises as very 612Please respect copyright.PENANAzu4p3Jt1LW
active pets and they believed that it wouldn't do anything but just sit 612Please respect copyright.PENANAAdbAOLo2kl
out in the warm UV light getting a tan.612Please respect copyright.PENANAmN1hMw0Qay
And are they wrong? No! 612Please respect copyright.PENANAp8q35TfBv9
But that's what makes them great pets, I can relate to wanting being in 612Please respect copyright.PENANAnPBMKf5ctB
the sun all day without a care in the world. Of course there's more to 612Please respect copyright.PENANAFGfd3EGTjF
tortoises than that, for example tortoises are known for their long 612Please respect copyright.PENANALT985jw8kx
lives. Pet turtles are known to live for around 80 years, while some 612Please respect copyright.PENANAuyqmXbhdok
larger species are known to have lived for 100s! Currently the oldest 612Please respect copyright.PENANAw0Fop40Jsj
tortoise, Jonathan, is about 187 years old. Tortoises, if well looked 612Please respect copyright.PENANA9kFT1IKcG3
after, can be companions for life, and not only your life but your 612Please respect copyright.PENANAdidtb6UYHE
children's lives as well.612Please respect copyright.PENANAjVBzBc3u0f
Now looking after a 612Please respect copyright.PENANA3Usbv7By5W
tortoise can have its challenges, as with any reptile. You should always612Please respect copyright.PENANAwepebJ8dO1
make sure you have enough space in your enclosure, researching the 612Please respect copyright.PENANAi3rLrF9bJ1
species should prevent any surprises as some can outgrow your wildest 612Please respect copyright.PENANANVnZf0NAi5
expectations, and that the enclosure has enough heat for your tortoise. A612Please respect copyright.PENANAcbYSxiTJ5u
healthy diet of green goodness is also important for them as they are 612Please respect copyright.PENANAYyWEtiGPN9
herbivores. Finally tortoises are not the friendliest pets, so they're 612Please respect copyright.PENANAmIlo7rvAS1
not the most cuddliest or appreciative of getting picked up, but I 612Please respect copyright.PENANAAqgnIsH7i0
believe that they are completely worth it.
