That's fantastic. I'm very jealous.

Now, get him off the sofa, before he craps! Those stains NEVER come out.

I want hear hear all about his behavior, how he settles in, what he eats, etc...

Congratulations, I'm very happy for you.

I looked up translators for the Malagasy language and put in "turtle". These are what came back:

turtle
fano
the sea turtle [Richardson 1885, Hallanger 1973]
fany
a river turtle. Same as fano, which see. [Richardson 1885]
rere
a fresh-water turtle [Hallanger 1973]
sokatra
a turtle or tortoise [Hallanger 1973]

I kind of like Sokatra. Has a nice ring to it.

What is a radiated tortoise. Is it a breed or do they give it radiation or something. I don't think you guy would be excited if the later were the case, but I am confused. It sure is pretty!

Why don't you look up the words pretty or beautiful in Malagasy ( is that where they come from?) and see if that gives you an idea. Good Luck!
