How old are everyone's tortoises?
I'm getting my first tortoise from one of my friends in a few weeks, and he's a Hermann aged 12, just wondering how old everyone else's tortoises are

Mine's still a baby. Will be two next june. (I'm a lot hungover and can't work out how old that makes him just now) Had him about 3 months. Good luck with your new tort. Lucky getting an older one x

One who is between 75 - 85 years.
Out of the other animals (and there are quite a few) our oldest turtle is a Red Ear Slider and she is 16, and an African Grey parrot who is 20+. Added those two just for interest really - they are all rehomers so we are going by what we were told by the previous owners/fosterers. |

Yeah he's been hibernated 3 times, just wondering (sorry I'm not really a Tortoise info guru) but why is it better to have one at 12?
