I'm 23 and we have a sulcata but it was a family decision and our 5 year old daughter was a huge part of picking Maia. Our daughter is part of her everyday life helps feed her soak her check her temps etc. my hopes are that once Maia does outlive myself and Ron then our daughter will be a "pro" at her care and pass the knowledge of her care onto her children. We have every intention of Maia being an "heirloom" per say

She asked if Maia could lay with her will I rubbed her arm so she could fall asleep
That.... is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen! A child and tortoise growing up together. I would LOVE to see pictures of the two together!
