Meet Woody my Ornate Wood Turtle. He has been my friend for 21 years now. All I can say is that good friends are hard to find for us, imagine how hard it is for them.

hes cool looking...wow hes 21 he can drink now... lucky him ill buy the first round :)
 
He was full grown when I got him and that usually takes a good 10 years. Our best guess on age is around 35 or 40.
 
WOW, 21 years! I wish everyone had your mentality when it comes to keeping herps. I applaud you :clap. Did you have any major health issues with him over the years? What do you feed?
 
Congrats! You got me beat. I have had my two female Eastern Box Turtles for 18 and 19 years. People are always suprised by how long some reptiles live. I think if you just provide them all their needs and then some they can live a long, happy life. Keep up the good work!
