My name is Melanie and I have a red footed tortoise named Michelangelo. Michelangelo is (estimated) about 2 and a half years old. I have always been one for reptiles but turtle and tortoises have a special place in my heart. I hope to one day own more of both, unfortunately I live in a small apartment so one is good for now. He isn't lonely though. My cousin has a red foot as well, named Bowser, that i about 3 years old. They love their play dates.
