Hey! I'm in San Diego.
I have 2 Sulcatas, 2 Hermanns, 2 Deserts (1 baby, 1 adult)
I hope this site pops off. I'll post this in the 2 worthless Tortoise Myspace groups I'm in

Bansh88 - do you keep your two deserts together? I'm asking because we already have a large older female (about 30 years and 14 inches long) that roams our yard and occasionally our house. We want another and I'm thinking of picking up a young (2yr old 10 inch) male. I'm concerned about how my old lady will do with a new companion.

Welcome to Bansh88 and Kyrazy.
I love hearing about multiple-tortoise-homes. I fully intend on adopting as many tortoises as I can manage once I have enough space for them all to happily roam.

we are in lynnwood washington... due to our rainy weather stoli and ozo stay inside... i have no idea how old they are. i got them from my work. well i got stoli and my friend got ozo... any who... she got bored with ozo and gave her to me... i love her... she loves petts! she stretches out her neck so i can itch her, lol. i wish i knew how to tell their age. because when i had housed them together they were trying to breed. any one know how to tell age?
