I know the oldies can't compete with the little ones but look at his old face. Wise old one. Go 'oldies ! CB

He looks gorgeous and I am sure he could tell those young ones a thing or two - how old is he?? My babies may be cute now but ultimately my hope is they will make it to a grand old age and should probably outlive me

being that old how do you know he was bred over here and not, like my old female bought from a petshop when they were sold as adults very cheaply. I didn't think there were many breeding back then, most in the shops were wild caught as adults so we were only guessing at Tootsie's age.

yes spot on wild caught , I am only guessing based on size, shell colouring comparison and behaviour and the only background I know which is very very limited on adopting (them) - came as a pair. Banjo here is related to Papa-Un.
