[/size] My name is Shaun and I live in central Florida.I have been an animal lover my whole life and have had numerous different turtles and other reptiles throughout my life.Mostly native species such as Gopher tortoise's,Box turtles and the numerous different types of local freshwater turtles. I adopted "Tommie G" from a woman in New Jersey 2 years ago when he was supposedly 3 years old and about 9 lb's.He is now about 35 lb's,he is a sulcata and he is an eating machine, mostly native bermuda grasses and weeds with supplementation of some vegetables.He lives outdoors year round. I am really pleasantly surprised to find so many people with this passion for these wonderful creatures.I look forward to discussions with all of you...............Oh almost forgot,,anyone familiar with Hingeback's?.....there is one locally here that I have considered purchasing just to save him from his deplorable living conditions at the local pet store. Any response would be greatly appreciated.............
