My wife and I have researched what we can about these little guys and seems they are not very long lived in captivity. We've yet to talk with anyone else that has one. So, shout back if you have a Cortez or have had one in the past, I'd love to share notes. Ours is about 30 months old now and seems to be doing great. 9 inch disk and about 13 inches long snout to tail. Talk soon, Karl.
