hey guys,
I have been thinking a lot about the future of my tortoises, and due to their longevity it brings me to "how old will I be when..." I'm 24 now, just bought a bunch of babies. As cute as they are, as an owner you naturally can't wait to see them as adults and at breeding age. So I find it funny that as ambitious as I am, tortoises tend to limit you in life because you'll never see the whole project (tortoise lifespan) through. When my Burmese Browns are breeding age I'll be about 40, halfway to retirement!!! Weird perspective that I've never encountered with other pets.
