They do look cute. How many different species do you have? if you don't mind. For the 3 years I have been a member, I am still hearing about new ones, or my memory just stinks:D

Wow, that's a nice size number. I knew you had a few, but didn't realize how many. How many of just tortoises, please?

Eleven - Aldabran, Russian, Gopherus agazissii, Gopherus berlandieri, Sulcata, SA leopard, Babcock leopard, Manouria emys phayrei, Manouria emys emys, Redfooted, Yellowfooted. The RF belong to Dr. Cosmonaut.

I think, now that I'm counting, that I actually have more than 15 species.

RES, Phrynops hillari, Actinemys marmorata, Florida soft shell, Gulf coast box turtle, 3-toe, eastern, western, Florida, so that makes 19 species. I recently adopted out all my ornata box turtles. I thought they'd be better off with someone else. I had a hard time keeping them alive.

Yvonne; You can have just 1 more species before you have to learn to count with something other than fingers and toes. LOL :) What a wonderful collection you have! I didn't know about Gopherus Belandieri. How nice to have some that stay on the smaller size.

COOL, I didn't realize you had so many different turtle species. I think I know what you do all day long. Are there any left that you would really like to have, turtle or tortoise?
I would really like a Rad. They are so beautiful. Not sure I would spend that kind of money though.

The ones with the interesting eyes are desert tortoises - Gopherus agassizii
