What an adorable face and beautiful shell topping it all off. I would have picked up too, but knowing me a couple more would have been joining him (if they were as cute). :tort:

Golden Greek or am I way off? Either way, I think you should go back and get another one. Heh, why not? ;) I am NOT a good influence.

DITTO, but I really do think two more is the right way to go. At least I think, always more then two right. I wish I would have known when I got Tatum, I would have gotten three instead of one.

Three is not the magical number. It is 40. At least until you get 41. Or 42. Or 43.....

Oh my, 40? Sheesh, I couldn't provide adequate space! Who in the world has room for 43 or more tortoises? Amazing..

He looks great, but $50 is really cheap. That would worry me. Was the guy just trying to get rid of them? What was the story? Make sure you really quarantine this one for a long time, just to be safe.

If this is all on the level and you got THAT tortoise for $50 bucks, then you scored my friend! Congratulations. :)

I agree, we are all enablers in here... we supply folks with knowledge (which is a definition of an enabler)... so see, it's not bad to be an enabler. :p :D
