So after losing my little man Echo this week, I have been thinking things through and trying to figure things out. As everyone probably knows, I was trying to decide on either getting another tortoise, or get something new, and after a long debate in my head I've given in and gotten on a waiting list for a blue tegu this august. (I'll post a photo just to show an example of what one looks like). It was a hard choice because of how much I loved Echo, but somehow it feels... wrong to get another tortoise and fill his place. Echo was one of a kind and i'd like to keep it that way. BUT the good news is, for a little summer job I've decided to try and get a pet associate position at PetSmart, where I can properly teach petsmart and customers how to properly care for reptiles, Especially tortoises, and keep them away from the naughty stuff (coil bulbs, red bulbs, bad water dishes, store bought food, etc). Although I may lose a job for telling them to go to walmart and get a plant saucer for a water dish, at least it's saving one little tort from a possible drowning. I still plan on checking in daily and helping everyone on the forum who needs it. Hopefully if I get the job, I'll be around tortoises still, and I can help people give proper care, and hey, if they are teetering on choosing an animal, I'll know where to lead them Those are my plans for now, but I have to say I am a die hard animal lover, and I am sure that somewhere in the future lies another little tortoise waiting to cross my path.
