Tortoises are venomous right?

He looks great Mike Big Grin

A bit of acetone on a rag in a well ventilated area and some gentle rubbing will get all the paint off.

Mike thanks for putting those pics up - great to see him! Now we know who you have been telling us about. Its a nice story of tortoise survival as so many of them from that era did not fare so well in the UK

RE: Hibernation for Hermans

Yes...Have to agree...I recall back in the late 60s seeing Tortoises in Practically Every Pet shop Window...Of course at that time (as a kid) I was totally unaware of the Horrific conditions these creatures were shipped over to the UK in (Stacked in wooden crates apparently)

As you say I think I have a lucky Tortoise here...No doubt he could tell a few tales if he could talk!
