My daughter wanted a turtle 3 or 4 years ago for her birthday so what did she get? a turtle. She had interest in him the first year or 2 but now could care less about him so its time to say goodbye to Rafael. He was a years and a half when we got him and we've had him atleast 3 years so I would say he is 4 or 5 years. He hasn't grown much since we got him, hes super low key, hes a land turtle not water so he doesn't stink. Included with Mr. Rafael he will get the tank, stand, heat lamp ( with extra bulbs), food, bowl, temperature gauge, hiding rock, etc.
