This is just purely for fun.
How old is your oldest reptile? You can tell anything you would like about them or just list their species and age if you would like.
My oldest is a 53 year old Sulcata Tortoise named Bob. He was my grandfather's tortoise who raised him from the moment he hatched (he had an egg imported from Africa in the late 50's) and was passed down to me when I turned 11 years old . Right now he lives in a group of female Sulcata's and is still as frisky as he was at 34 years old when I first met him. He is 200 lbs and 33 inches long.
I only have one, a snapper that a student caught in 1964 and gave to me in 1965. At that time, I estimated his age at seven, give or take a year. That makes him a bit younger than your Sulcata.
My oldest is still nothing on yours!
She is a leopard gecko named Seth who is alteast 8 years old.
I've had her for 6 years and got her from somebody who had her for two years, but she was fully grown when they go her.

So really i have no idea how old she is!
She is lovely though. A real softy, although she has almost no toes, really stumpy legs and looks like somebody has sat on her .... She is still very fiesty at dinner time and loves to climb and explore:)
mine is housefly, already 18 years. I kill it everyday but the next day, it appear again. then i decided to keep it as my pet. it doesnt need animal protein or any food.
I have a greek tortoise and it's 35 years old and still healthy!
oh u mean my wife? shes 36
I only have one reptile, a bearded dragon who I have had for 7 months, but I love him as if I've had him forever . He is 1 year 5 months old. He is an 18 "long leucistic. I got him from Georgia Bearded Dragons. He is a super picky eater and I have to hand feed him every day. It drives me nuts, but I love him anyways. He is very cuddly and will snuggle on my shoulder when I watch tv at night. He tries to eat anything that is vaguely red, including the buttons on my phone, polished toes, and the red stripe on my penguin pillow's scarf. His whitest colours only show through when he is chasing crickets. He is still beautiful all other times though. He loves his lizard hammock and will even climb up onto it when one of the suction cups gets knocked down and it's only hanging across by two suctions. If I wake him up before 8:30-9ish, he will fully inflate himself and puff his beard out for hours - he's not a morning person. And that's Loki in a nutshell.: D
That is really very cool. Take very good care of your grandfathers tortoise, he certainly appreciates that.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com My oldest is 23 years and is a common snapper. I found Myrtle one year in a heavy rainstorm in the middle of a parking lot trying to hide in a puddle. She would have certainly been squished if I had left her there so I brought her home and now she is now (from head to end of tail) just under three feet long. she eats mice, larger fish, snakes, rats, frogs and just about anything else I catch and drop in her living area. She has laid eggs three times and has become egg bound one year as well. I had to give her shots to help release the eggs and save her life.
I would like to see a pic of your tortoise if you would care to share, if not that's cool too.
