• Can live up to 50 years and older
• Diet high in fiber and calcium and low in protein and fat

Tristan is a greek tortoise. He looks like the tortoise on the right(brown greek tortoise). All these facts are true, but one I just learned about is that Greek tortoises not greek. They are called greek because of the pattern on their shell.

Welcome tortoises and Turtles!
