Well, if you lived in California, you surely could have him! My adoption book is pretty sparse under the desert tortoise section.

No offense to anybody who lives in CA, but that is about the only reason I would ever live in CA.

WHAT???????? Thems' fighting words missy.............

Memphis doesn't have much going for it. A nice zoo, BBQ and great hospitals.

Oh yeah, your hospitals seem great from the outside. I have not made it to the zoo. We could never find out if we could get into them with our truck. :cool: Okay question, as your coming into Memphis and TN from Arkansas, what do they use the building for that looks like an Egyptian pyramid?

The pyramid was used as a sports arena. The accoustics were terrible so concerts were never fun. Currently, it's just sitting there. BassPro is working on purchasing itin order to make a "flagship" store. There are soooooo many huge buildings like that all over the city that are not in use. Sad part, the pyramid isn't even paid for.

sports arenas are always a bad idea.

Hey Jacqui I was thinking about falling hard for the tortoise. I would have never thought they would make the prefect pet. Live and learn.

Most folks don't because they are not soft and furry, so you can cuddle them. It is amazing how quickly they get under your skin and into your heart.

I've been obsessed since I knew what a tortoise was. Someone gave me a copy of "Turtles and Tortoises of North America" for my seventh birthday. I saw the Florida Gopher and about died from longing.

For me it was the Galapagos tortoises in the tiny pen in the dark damp back reptile room of a local zoo as a child. They just fascinated me to no end. I felt like I was in the company of living dinosaurs.

My husband is the same way, at first he was like, really? Now he is very involved and talks about them all the time, takes pictures, makes them special salads, it's very cute!
