when i was first getting a tortoise i read an article that went something like - so you think you want to get a tortoise? - and then it proceeded to tell about things like how much damage an adult tortoise can do to your yard and housing, etc. i haven't been able to find that article on the internet since then. anyone seen it before and have a link for it?

Could it have been the sulcata challenge that Julie over at the Turtle Rescue of Long Island put out ?:

I first read the second article. That made my final decision about getting my tortoise.
