OK. I accept the challenge. I have to go pick up horse poop and feed everyone, then I'll dust off the camera and get some nice shots of the Manouria kids.

Ok...now I already realize they need their beaks filed, so no one needs to remind me of that, alright? For me, being an old lady, its a two man job and a second set of arms is hard to come by around here.

Here's Medea and Darth coming out of their house and getting ready to head for the sun:

I wanted to show you a close-up of Darth so you can see his gulars. Quite impressive!

This is my largest one, Medea, heading for the hills:

And I dashed around in front of her so you could see her beautiful face...er...determination. She wouldn't hold still:

Phae had already made it out into the sun:

The Mee's haven't come out yet, but I'll try to catch them later.

I forgot to mention: in that first picture, the white thing that you see leaning up against the wall is a washing machine pan that I use as a slide to bring in the errant tortoise in the evening. There's usually one big one outside in the evening that needs to be brought in.

I'll be waiting (semi) patiently for the Mee's! What do you mean by "slide"? Their house looks level with the outside. Or do you mean you put them on it and pull it like a sled?

Yeah, I should've said sled instead of slide. I have a rope attached to the front of it and I pull it.
