There are so many 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcFllDrHQm
amazing animals to choose from, it's quite hard to choose a favourite 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYx6ZvA6by
out of all of them. But if I was held at gunpoint and someone demanded 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlA6p4Vj7T
me to choose one, I'd have to go with a tortoise, the surface cousins of572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA07Q3u0CJs
turtles.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zqTIFOglb
Now I wanted a tortoise 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SQE4gI2ke
pet for a very long time now, but living circumstances haven't allowed 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmJCXWao6T
me to get one, yet at least. When I mentioned getting a tortoise to my 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BxZO1kVA1
family most of them laughed, since they don't see tortoises as very 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX8EOmArZL
active pets and they believed that it wouldn't do anything but just sit 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej0Q6vRgdp
out in the warm UV light getting a tan.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZY4B5abF8
And are they wrong? No! 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsQeCpRGAL
But that's what makes them great pets, I can relate to wanting being in 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JtA3DbpIO
the sun all day without a care in the world. Of course there's more to 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkbew7cdXr
tortoises than that, for example tortoises are known for their long 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcmckEXE5A
lives. Pet turtles are known to live for around 80 years, while some 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgukIPEXVR
larger species are known to have lived for 100s! Currently the oldest 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCKqErVnCV
tortoise, Jonathan, is about 187 years old. Tortoises, if well looked 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK8gvvkuVl
after, can be companions for life, and not only your life but your 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjb7mTrp3N
children's lives as well.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fMfxbdocT
Now looking after a 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWVXhGYsMY
tortoise can have its challenges, as with any reptile. You should always572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tEfnKNEzi
make sure you have enough space in your enclosure, researching the 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEVi20LCIh
species should prevent any surprises as some can outgrow your wildest 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgEHFd0rzm
expectations, and that the enclosure has enough heat for your tortoise. A572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9qrkLCyb0
healthy diet of green goodness is also important for them as they are 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Po4RLTyKo
herbivores. Finally tortoises are not the friendliest pets, so they're 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAHpRpZR5A
not the most cuddliest or appreciative of getting picked up, but I 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOEElzeWt8
believe that they are completely worth it.
