Diane just celebrated her 43th Birthday and she is doing fantastic. She has 65 gallons of water to swim in which give her plenty of room. Thanks for your comment.

I personally believe that all turtle species can live well over 100 years and I believe that some of the larger turtles species can live over 400 years. I've been studying alligator snapping turtles in the wild since 1990 and I think that when they have an abundant food source when they are in their first 20 years they grow massive, but it's not every habitat that supports that kind of grown, so they only grow that large in some places. Pass that turtle of yours to your grandchildren.
