@wisco50 They live in Minnesota. In temperate weather Tank lives in a large movable pen with a shelter that my son-in-law moves weekly to a new supply of grass in their large back yard. In winter he lives in a temperature controlled habitat in their basement. He was a rescue that came with my daughter to their marriage, estimated age now about 20 or so - he'll live up to 100 years, and over 150 pounds - the 4 year old is already taking over his feeding, so I imagine he will eventually own him. In a "former life" my daughter was a performer, and part of a reptile rescue educational act, at one time we thought her home was a menagerie, complete with Tank, assorted snakes, lizards, parrots, occasionally an alligator hatchling, even a few raptors - but now she's raising kids. I'll have to ask her which is more challenging. VBG
