Went to Tunisia to get married and I told my husband I always wanted a tortoise. I have owned many exotic pets, but never a tortoise.
I really wanted a Sulcata, but the Medina had these little tortoises that were so adorable, so my husband bought me one and I made it back to the states with him... No questions asked, although I am still not sure if I had the right to bring him home with me or I just got very lucky that no security checkpoint noticed him specifically.
Regardless, I am thrilled to be a new Tortoise mommy. And I just today realized that he is the Tunisian Spurred Tortoise, as evidenced by his obvious yellow spot on his head and the area he was purchased.
He loves cactus and dark greens, and digging.
If anyone else out here has a Tunisian and wants to share with me their experience on diet and habitat, I would be grateful.
Thanks
