: I can't stand when a pet dies of old age after just 15 years. Its like losing a family member. I know parrots live into the 80's but I'm a reptile man. What type of tortoises that are easily available in the pet trade also live into their 50's-80's. I'd appreciate suggestions. I will also ofcourse do my research before buying.

What kind of tortoise or turtle you choose would depend on what kind of habitat you could provide for it. Big yard, small yard, Climate, finances, there are a lot of variables. Do you know what size you want?
