What kind of tortoises should i get?

[EricIvins]

not all torts will outlive their owners, unless the owner is already middle aged..lol.

species like sulcatas, aldabras, galaps..etc will outlive you if cared for properly, but most testudo species(russians, greeks, hermanns) generally live 40-50 years in the wild, 20-30 in captivity.

Any Testudo species has the ability to live just as long as any other Tortoise........Especially since alot of the Testudo estivate in the warm regions, and hibernate in the cold regions........

Testudo can live to be 100 years old just like the big toises. Now what kind of setup would you provide, because your tortoise choice depends on it. Remenbar that all need lots of space to roam, as much as a hectar to a sulcata to a few square meters to the smallest species. My yellow head in the basement uses all of its 2,5 m long habitat.
