Thanks for your interest. I’m writing here about my experiences working at the Bronx Zoo; these species are not suitable for the average turtle owner. However, we have records of 100+ year old pets involving smaller species…Eastern Box Turtles and Radiated Tortoises, for example; some were passed on through several generations, as you suggest.

Please let me know if you need any further information. Good luck, enjoy and please keep me posted.–

Best regards, Frank Indiviglio.

It’s just really expensive to take care of a giant turtle. But it would be nice for my grandchildren and great grandchildren to inherit a turtle.
