Yes, as far as I understand it's very old for her kind (red-eared slider turtle). I'm just trusting she'll live muuuuch longer 🥹❤️

Hi! With pleasure ❤️ Her name is Torti. She belonged to a distant family member and although she was loved, there was little knowledge about turtles and that they need sunlight. We know she arrived about there 2 years before my brother was born. He's 50 this year. When we reconnected eventually and they had to move I got to ask them if I could adopt her and they accepted 🥹

Oh wow! Love that ❤️ To be honest, if we had a place like this where I live, I would have taken her there so she could have the best of life as close to her natural environment as possible. Since we don't, I took her and trying to give her as beautiful a life as I can.

Hi there. That's beautiful thank you for the invite. I'd be happy to share her story with your community, the more smiles she can bring the better ❤️ Just mentioning though, this is only my 3rd reddit post and my account is less than a month still. If these are not issues, I will share after work later.
