Pet tortoises are known for their long lifespans, often living several decades with proper care. Some species can live 50 years or more, making them a lifelong commitment. Their longevity depends on factors such as diet quality, enclosure conditions, access to UVB lighting, and veterinary care. Beginners should carefully consider this long-term responsibility before getting a tortoise, as ownership may span generations.
