They came today, and may I say the pics on the website did them no justice! They are gorgeous!! They arrived well packed, and became active and eating less than 5 minutes out of the box! Here is a pre-shipping pic taken yesterday:


Here are a couple taken less than 10 minutes after arrival. I will get better ones later as I didn't want to disturb them too much after their stressful experience and took the pics through the plexiglass lid (that's why so red). I will get more soon!





The pics aren't the best I've taken...I just wanted to show everyone they really do eat right out of the box!

(A new feature I use since I quit smoking, WOOHOO!! Tobacco free!! Now I can really spend some money on my torts)

Just a warning. Keep count fingers after feeding Terry's torts, they are eating machines.

The babies look wonderful. even the red pics. Glad they arrived fine.
I haven't had a cig. in amost 12 years now. (I was a hard core chain smoker of Kools) One of the hardest yet best things I did just for me. Not counting my torts. So a BIG CONGRATULATIONS keep up the great work. Just think how fast that tort $$ will add up, that alone could be a heck of an incentive.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They look so sweet, and of course they ate right away! I should have my sweeties from Terry next week!

Congrats on the babies AND stopping smoking! Ive never felt better since I quit in 2005. I dont like the weight I gained but physically I feel a heck of a lot better and I dont get sick as often as I used to. Im working on losing the weight now. WOOT!

I know what you mean . I've gained 3 pounds since I quit. I was using m&ms and mini milky ways as a substitute the first week.. Now everything just tastes so much better!

It is 13 years since I stopped smoking. I gained 47 lbs. after I stopped. I have lost most of it now, and really do feel so much better. I can breath.
Your babies are so beautiful, by the way...

Wonderful babies one and all!

They are all so cute!!!!! I can't wait to see more pictures!!! Congrats on quiting smoking that is great, one of these days I will quit to...

Awesome group. So 9 years till your first hatchlings? Im marking it on my calendar. 8' )

Seems like such a long time, huh? Ah well, time flies as the years come and go I've found.
