Hi everyone,
After a great deal of research and convincing my family I am not crazy. My hubby adopted a 4 month old Eastern Hermann's tortoise for me in May. We named him Pete Moss(we don't know if he's a he but its stuck now lol) and dare I admit I love him more than anything? (Maybe not my son but tied XD)
Here he is waking up for breaky. He is in a temporary XL sweater tub at the moment, he will be getting a large custom tortoise table in Sept when we move into our new house. He also has a large outdoor enclosure next to my studio tent he loves to explore on hot days.
He is the most fun, such a personality and settled in so fast. He hears me coming and runs over for attention and foods. We live on a horse farm with my folks so he gets a fresh assortment of weeds and flowers everyday.
Yesterday I picked up this lovely 15 month old cherry head who was living in pretty sad conditions(living in a 50gallon tank with 2 other cherry heads twice her size). I've named "her" Nebula, or Nebbie for short.
She is pretty shy so far, hiding away but enjoyed a nice warm bath this morning. I'm hoping she settles happily and enjoys her new digs and diet.
Excited to be here and meet fellow shell puppy lovers. I have waited 32 years for my first tort and now we are planning a reno for 3 stalls in the barn for a winter tortie land. I'm hoping to incorporate them into my Nurture Nature programs and raise awareness for our local turtles too.
Much love!
Jesse
