Hello tortoise family. I've added a few torts to our family this week so I just thought I'd introduce them to you all.
#1. I got a baby Cherryhead from Jeff (N2torts) that arrived Thursday morning. A few of his scutes have batman symbol shapes on them so we decided to name it Bruce Wayne. Here are a few shots of him and my other Redfoot.
Tortoise #2
Today I met with Kelly (tortoise) and adopted this beautiful 11 year old male sulcata. His name was Angel but my wife is renaming him Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) I told her we had to keep the middle name as Angel. I put him on my scale abut it was very hard to balance him so I don't think it's accurate. The scale said 140 pounds but I'm betting it's more like 150-160.
I'm baby sitting a tort for the night. Mike Taylor lives about 40 mins from me and he wanted to adopt a male Redfoot from Kelly but didn't have the time to make the 4 hour road trip so I picked it up for him and he'll come get him tomorrow. (If I give him my address that is, lol). He's too cute to not put a picture of him up so....
I've got a temporary set up for my sulcata while I finish his permanent set up. I also went ahead and set one up for my overnight guest. My big guy has 18'x12' in his temp home with a nice size hide. Our guest is enjoying a 10'x10' area, also with a hide.
Both have eaten and are tucked away in their hides
