i once read that no tortoise in captivity has died from old age.. most from mismanagement at some point in their lives.

That was the gist of the Reader's Digest Article. Is that where you read it?

I have a iguana that was raised from a teeny tiny hatchling in 1993. She stopped eating 3 years ago so my wife syringe feeds her every day.

I went to the Australian Zoo where Harriet was kept. I barely missed her by 3 months. There was a little memorial for her.
