My new red footed tortoise.

[mike taylor]

Today I came home aggravated from work . So I go to the tortoise pens and do some winter work . You know check heaters and what not . Then just as I was going to crawl into my red footed tortoises winter home I found this . A baby red footed tortoise. How freaking awesome is that !

Aww that's cute! Hopefully you can find more and maybe sell them to reptile lovers! THere's a Repticon coming up, even though they probably get them from suppliers, most of them are local breeders. Also, how many male to female ratio of tortoises do you have? I'm curious because most tortoises (desert tortoises) are anti-social/territorial. I guess tropical species aren't? I've only had experience with one!

Pretty freaking awesome. But do you crawl into their enclosures often when having a bad day? Like instead of dog house, tort house
Sorry, couldn't resist. Torts can always make a bad day good again.

Cool stuff. Well pleased for you. Looks perfect too. But more photos will have to be supplied to verify that

I love people like that! @mike taylor, you and your Wife must be very very special people. I hope to have a pleasure of meeting both of you some day. I am in Texas, too, so who knows?! Our paths may cross at some point.

Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
