I just got home from eating @ Outback. There is a Petco right next to it so I stopped in. They had a Russian Tortoise there. Other than the fact that the enclosure was too small they looked like they had it set up pretty nicely (hide, water dish, food dish, red heat light (I know you hate those, Tom), coco coir, thermometer, and it looked as though someone recently misted the enclosure b/c there was light water running down the glass). Couldn't tell you if they had a UVB bulb over it though. I spoke briefly w/the woman working that area and she was pretty knowledgeable. Just hope he/she finds a nice home w/a loving owner.

He is a talented aggressive driver who can bump draft without wrecking the guy he bumps. I like the way he drives, he's impatient and pushy and drives like me actually...:p...I like him because so many people dislike him and he doesn't care. I so love the disrespectful bow he gives when he wins and gets boo'ed

I think if you went and looked at some of his old posts you will see a picture of him down on the ground with one of his aldabra. ;)

These folks were driving through the desert, coming home to Fresno from Nevada and rescued a small tortoise from the middle of the highway. The tortoise was about the size of a hand without the fingers, so I guess around 5 years old. This was in 1978. They had him all these years in their back yard. There was plenty of grass for the tortoise to eat, however, the lady fed him every day, veggies and greens...broccoli, zucchini, romaine, etc. His beak is a little overgrown from not having to graze.

The lady's husband died last year, and now she has had debilitating surgery and has been warned by her children not to go down the stairs into the back yard anymore for safety sake, unless she has someone with her (she lives alone). So she tearfully had to give Mr. up. In the week that I've had him she has called to check on his status twice.

Awww, Yvonne he is handsome. I saved the pictures and sent them to Lisa's phone. Lisa did ask me if she should get another tortie and I told we had already had a plan B in place. That made her smile. She is on alot of meds, so we will talk more about it in a few days. Thanks for posting the pictures!!
