Yeh, when you take a turtle for a pet, it's a life long commitment! My parents and I toss her back and forth for breaks. She's really a lousy pet as all she does is sit around and eat stuff. Snooze. She's actually only been in our family for about 14 years, but I'm sure she's got another good 25 years to go. She was about 12-15 when we got her. Ours is a box turtle, which I guess is really a tortoise. I almost strangled her in a laundry basket a few weeks ago. She got her head and arm stuck in a hole and was barely alive by the time I found her. Stubborn thing bounced right back...Good luck outliving yours! LOL By the way, there are no divorces in our family either, so maybe it is good luck!
