Although I actually posted an 'introduction' some 18 months ago, I felt it was warranted again as we have a new tort addition to our family. For the past year or so, my better half has been looking at every sulcata she's seen. She talks to them like they are infants (which confuses me since neither can understand a word, yet getting her to talk to me often proves pointless. True - I seldom understand her, either...) and loves on every one she spots.
So for christmas this year, I got her one from our local herp house, Ron's Reptiles. Ron and Donna saved me out a bright-eyed, light-colored beauty.
Even tho I knew she'd been looking, I was concerned since I never have bought her something living - and especially something that lives so long. These type of purchases, at least for me, are intensely personal and I wasn't sure how she would take it. Simple to say, she loves him/her!
After a few days of searching for names that could go either way once we do know, she chose 'Butters'. Given that we have a CDT named 'Cartman', it works perfectly.
