So who wants to hear how i got Sheldon ? here it goes :
So one day me and my dad were going to Dales (a local pet shop) just to grab some dog food . Inside their was a large bin with two little sulcata tortoise babies . We thought they were adorable and the guy started telling us about them and he he took one in and how big they get . He gave us a lot of info . He even told us that we need to get ready because he'll get big fast . We fell in love with them and they were only 50 bucks so we decided to get one . There was two left out of 40 babies that someone had brought in from their big momma . There was a really hyper guy running all around and their was a lazy little guy . The hyper one had two dots on some if his scutes instead of one . The other guy had a shell with one dot in each scute . I immediately chose one tortoise . Can you guess ? It was the hyper guy with two dots in some scutes ! He was do odd looking compared to the other little guy that i felt like i needed him the guy gave us a box , put the little guy inside and sent us home with a $50 tortoise . PS the torts in the bin had proper substrate and a huge water dish with plenty of space to roam around in their tank . They had named him some Hawaiian name (i forgot now) that I think they said meant "little one" .we renamed him Sheldon with your knowing if he is actually male haha ! So thats the story of Sheldon ! Please feel free to comment whatever you like and even your tortoises stories !
So many typos in this .. Sorry haha
