very true. third largest species in the world. and they are very fun to watch. throw the sprinlker out with them, and you have at least an hour of fun.

Never thought about it

Ive had my tortoise, Barton for >10 years now and I agree he is one of the best pets ever. I dont really like it when I see them in stores because they look so cute as babys but quickly out grow any tanks or other enclosures. Also they are pets that will live 100+ years so you you need to account for that too. I adopted one in the past but had to give it to my brother in law when it matured and ended up being another male (fought with our first one). Here is the site I adopted my 2nd one from if anyone is really interested in keeping one and a picture of mine.
