It's very long term ! Turtles live 40-50 years in captivity if taken care of well. I'm still learning only been in this hobby since 1963. But it great !!!
I would say the same thing as Steve ! ... But I'm glad I was given turtles, as an animal lover it opened my eyes on the research we all need to do before buying any kind of pets. It can be complicated but it is also a lot of fun
