    Generally, how long do turtles live. Any kind of turtle. How do you think they're able to live that long?

    I think I heard of one going over 200 years.

    If That's the case, for you turtle owners out there, will you put your turtle in your will so when you die you know it'll get transfered to a friend or younger family member?

    What's the longest living turtle species you know of?

    And other such life questions. Feel free to bring up your own.

    weeellllllllllllllllll..... some tortoises can live for well over 100 years, and some have even gotten close to the 200 mark....

    But most turtles that are in the domestic market aren't quite that long lived, a red eared slider, one of the more common pets, can live for about 15-25 years, give or take.... and I hope MINE won't become a will issue, I plan on living a little longer than that :D

    But they do have some amazing life spans!
