I am so sorry. I do know what you're going through. My tortoise, Derrick, just died, and I have no idea what went wrong. Of course get a turtle if you want. Or maybe a Russian Tortoise? I think that might be easier to care for. I want another tort, but as I'm 64, if I was sick I'd worry if he would get the care my will would stipulate. I will pray for you. I think another aspect of this is that we both (you and I) thought are pets would last a long time. Derrick was 10 or 11. 7 years with us. He was supposed to live 50-100 years!
