She thinks she’s the queen of the underground.

Vic Morgan and I kinda hit it off over the phone for several months starting last fall and of course I jumped at the opportunity to go over to his place and pick up some MEP last month. It was a dream getting to see a lifetime of work and he has been more than patient with me. I don’t think I quit smiling or asking questions the entire time I was there. We talked music to natural history and everything in between, he’s an interesting guy to say the least. Anyway it was great.

It was super cold that day so the herd wasn’t very photogenic but Meghan and I are headed back over next month and I’ll post more pics of how he’s keeping these incredible prehistoric tortoises in such a natural way.

So these are my little guys I got when I was there.

Who doesn’t love a good poop.

I also grabbed this guy off fauna from a person keeping as a pet up north and was also produced by Vic, this was a mid ‘15 hatch.

And you know I wasn’t leaving without a couple of these little guys!

Does he sell red foots as well? I heard he was the best to go to for a MEP. Wasn't sure how to contact him.

Outstanding!! Being able to meet him is a lifelong goal of mine. I'd probably faint.

How old are they?

I have 2 mountain tortoises. One is Brown 4year old , the other is Black not sure how old.

I also have a 1 year old Cherry head . I had since she was 1 month old.

I adopted a Russian from Petco as well.

Your Tortoises are Beautiful.

I'm jealous of you on meeting Vic. I would love that opportunity! Congratulations!

Thank you! Your herd is looking great!! The babies are all around 6 months give or take, the cherry heads are a little younger and the male mountain tortoise is a month or so ahead of everybody, but that bigger MEP will be 3 this year. How old are your mountain tortoises they’re looking good!

My MEE turned 4 October 2017.

I was told my MEP was 4 when I got her in October 2017 . I was shocked to hear 4 only because she was smaller than the MEE. She has grown an inch since October. 20171024_170032.jpg This was October 2017
