...and no filament wire to give the illusion that she's swimming. As you well know...ALL of my babies are (were) swimmers until they hit 10 pounds...then they 'walk' on the bottom!

Love the pics! My fiance thinks the babies in the tubs look like ladybugs. Smile He thought they were adorable. He's still ambivalent toward Myrtle, but I think the baby pics helped bring him around some.

Yes. Because males don't get along with each other, while females usually coexist just fine.

RE: Meet Tom's Sulcatas
This is my super awesome love button... Your torts make me realize how much I would love more but your explanation of how you got a few of them helps me understand why Willie is an only tort child.. We don't have space right now to give more a better home... :<(!
