Hi Everyone. We just adopted an AZ Desert Tortoise about a month ago. His name is Alvin, and he seems very old. He was with another family for 25 years. They rescued him from an oncoming plow in a farmer's field. He is a really handsome little guy, and just the perfect pet for us!

I am so impressed with Tortoise Forum. There is a lot of useful information here!

Here is a picture of Alvin! His shell is peeling a bit, but it doesn't look like anything to worry about, does it?
