Way cool! ! ! ! ! !I've only had one. A sulcata who is 19 years old. I got him as a hatchling at a pet store, and still have him.
Florida sounds like such a cool place to call home!I found my first RF walking around in the everglades in South Florida when I was a kid. Unfortunately I don't have him anymore. I had him a few months and ended up trading a pet store for a few female box turtles because I was obsessed with trying to breed them. I'm in my late thirties now and have had my second RF Murphy since January and he hopefully will be with me the rest of my life!
