What happens to it when you get to be 60, 70, 80 and you can no longer care for an over 80 lb plus tortoise who may out live you.
Cute now, but what happens 30 years down the road? Not judging, just dont see it.

After all, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I'd think exotic bird people have the same trouble. Some parrots live 60-70 years.
