While checking out Petfinder for a RES for grandsons (I was skunked in immediate area) what did I find but two Bells. CB, 19 months old, wormed and vetted for adoption. I am taking a road trip this weekend. Setting up outside enclosure this week.

The torts are at a pet bird rescue north of Milwaukee, about a three and half to four hor drive. The person I spoke to seemed fairly knowledgeable and asked me the right questions. I apparently answered her's correctly too. I just have to ignore the birds (hard) lest I adopt one. I have to train the grandsons before I adopt a bird (a large parrot ) to replace my grey I lost in the fire.

Very cool! I miss my old Bells. Craigslist is another place I've seen some interesting tortoises pop-up. I just saw a Forest Hingeback for rehoming, but it was on the other side of the state and I couldn't get there before Daytona. I look forward to any pics.

Be well
Jeff

That's the way to break-in your new found freedom. A cross country trip. I'm picking them up this Saturday.
