That big smile on his face in the last picture shows he's pretty happy to be wearing a football helmut!

For some reason, the second picture doesn't look quite right to me. It just doesn't look like he's holding that much weight.

wouldn't be surprised if 100 lbs is not much weight for him

Man i was just getting ready to post this. Very cool and it looks like he has taken great care of him, you dont see to many older torts with that flat of a shell. I wonder if he is one if the members on this site. If you are on here you can pm all the Ca ppl and get us all box seats and we can have a box seat tort party at the game.

"Colin has a pet tortoise named Sammy. At first, he could hold Sammy in the palm of his hand. Now Sammy weighs more than 100 pounds and eats the backyard."

The St. Louis Cardinals First Basemen, Allen Craig, owns a nice Sulcata, as well. It has a nice outdoor enclosure in SoCal.
