I thought about getting a turtle. And my last place I lived in there was a humongous turtle in the backyard but I was afraid to go near it haha but now I wish I had. Oh my goodness it was so huge there's no way I could have picked it up. But I was thinking about getting a turtle. I know they love it when you scratch their back. And they have their own little sweet and cute personalities. What was her name? Will you be getting another turtle? Maybe a baby so it will live a long time with you?
You have my deepest condolences.

She's beautiful. They are so sweet.

@EldritchFox Except when they bite you while you scrub algae of their shells...
I'm so sorry. We become attached to animals exactly as if they were like family and they are to us.

They can last for long time, 200+ years

Did you keep it in your fridge during winter?

How did your tortoise die if they live a long time more than 200 years

@Birdbox1986 Those are giant tortises ftom the Galapogos Islands. Red Eared Terrapins, like mine, there, live an average of thirty years (which is exactly how long I had her). Red Ears, like mine, come from the southern United States.

@Birdbox1986 It's not a giant Gplopogus Island tortise. It’s a red-eared terrapin, or pond turtle, from the southern United States. Their average lifespan is thirty years.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry. I’ve heard they live a long time and I imagine that makes it all the more difficult once they’re gone. Big hugs 🫂
