There are so many 593Please respect copyright.PENANAzrVeec3phT
amazing animals to choose from, it's quite hard to choose a favourite 593Please respect copyright.PENANA7cBu2oDSA5
out of all of them. But if I was held at gunpoint and someone demanded 593Please respect copyright.PENANAthMkZ95H0d
me to choose one, I'd have to go with a tortoise, the surface cousins of593Please respect copyright.PENANA1jzh6CzV2V
turtles.593Please respect copyright.PENANAyvW9oNAINc
Now I wanted a tortoise 593Please respect copyright.PENANA8SX3v5oWHB
pet for a very long time now, but living circumstances haven't allowed 593Please respect copyright.PENANAUdw1OsfHJz
me to get one, yet at least. When I mentioned getting a tortoise to my 593Please respect copyright.PENANAgUXOtv0Fzj
family most of them laughed, since they don't see tortoises as very 593Please respect copyright.PENANAwTTFKTuCnU
active pets and they believed that it wouldn't do anything but just sit 593Please respect copyright.PENANAniMEh9AUli
out in the warm UV light getting a tan.593Please respect copyright.PENANAvykoaQYIQK
And are they wrong? No! 593Please respect copyright.PENANAiJQA2jXuf5
But that's what makes them great pets, I can relate to wanting being in 593Please respect copyright.PENANAptKTBIvzy0
the sun all day without a care in the world. Of course there's more to 593Please respect copyright.PENANA6fE3j0kyoH
tortoises than that, for example tortoises are known for their long 593Please respect copyright.PENANAtaU8sefg4X
lives. Pet turtles are known to live for around 80 years, while some 593Please respect copyright.PENANAyteDlhfdou
larger species are known to have lived for 100s! Currently the oldest 593Please respect copyright.PENANAy8uce62VOW
tortoise, Jonathan, is about 187 years old. Tortoises, if well looked 593Please respect copyright.PENANAJs2zaa1PPX
after, can be companions for life, and not only your life but your 593Please respect copyright.PENANApNT3zrd2lJ
children's lives as well.593Please respect copyright.PENANAhxTSB5kULq
Now looking after a 593Please respect copyright.PENANADZMiMEJvIk
tortoise can have its challenges, as with any reptile. You should always593Please respect copyright.PENANA9YP7i98A7v
make sure you have enough space in your enclosure, researching the 593Please respect copyright.PENANAZNigq0yG3p
species should prevent any surprises as some can outgrow your wildest 593Please respect copyright.PENANAj4KD4soocd
expectations, and that the enclosure has enough heat for your tortoise. A593Please respect copyright.PENANAl7lpXGk4wC
healthy diet of green goodness is also important for them as they are 593Please respect copyright.PENANAfro3KOiS6H
herbivores. Finally tortoises are not the friendliest pets, so they're 593Please respect copyright.PENANAmpTr8aHcvv
not the most cuddliest or appreciative of getting picked up, but I 593Please respect copyright.PENANAZ46T7yq17a
believe that they are completely worth it.
