With more than 250 species to choose from, you're bound to find one that's right for you. Looks-wise, they can range from very plain and unadorned to brightly coloured and embellished with every manner of crest, crown, spike, and dewlap. \n\nAs for personality, you'd be amazed at how very different they can be, ranging from shy and withdrawn, to outgoing and friendly, to outright aggressive. When it comes to longevity, well, let's just say that when you commit to a turtle or tortoise, you're in it for the long haul. For example, the standard American box turtle can live more than 125 years, a leopard tortoise has a lifespan of up to 100 years, and an aldabran tortoise can live to be more than 200 years old!\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis fun guide will help you choose the perfect turtle or tortoise for your lifestyle and give it the care it needs to thrive.
