Adopted another tortoise!

[Luckie]

I have been dreaming of another tortoise ever since Little Foot (red foot tortoise) won my heart and moved in.

I've mentioned to my boyfriend a few times about wanting another one and yesterday I was on craigslist and there was a girl who was looking for a home for 3 of her tortoises. One of them was a Hermann tortoise. She's only had him a few months, it's about 3 inches long.

Today I picked up the lil tortoise, his 40 gallon breeder tank and lights. You could tell that this girl really took good care of him, the tank set up looks great! I promise to post pics tomorrow.

I'm beyond excited. What a gorgeous lil tortie, seems VERY active!
Not sure of the name yet though...

Nice fine. Sad for the girl. Why was she having to give them up? So what were the two you passed on?

Apparently she broke up with her boyfriend and didn't have space/time for them anymore. She had a Redfoot and a Sulcata too. I only had space for one other addition
