Hi,
I'm Peggy and my husband is Eugene, we're in our 50's, we own 30 acres in the country in S.E. Oklahoma, and are very happy to have a (maybe) 7 year old, 7, 1/2 lb, 10" long Sulcata Tortoise join our family of two macaws, a quaker parrot, an amazon, two keets and two chihuahuas.
After discovering Sulcata Tortoises about a month ago, my husband and I did all the research, joined yahoo groups and started looking for a tort. After joining one of the groups, we received an email from someone offering one.
After all the prep inside and out for housing one, the arrangements were made to get the tort from mid Kansas, here, we picked him up last friday, March 9th.
We were so glad to find out this is an active, healthy, fun tort and after reading all about them, think it's a female, but as torts grow that tends to change, so we'll see.
Just happy to be here and have a Sulcata Tortoise in our life.
Peggy
