1447258034170404037397.jpg I have a Sulcata. Definitely a slave. Spent last night repairing his box that he tore apart yesterday. Have 9 Russians plus a new hatchling. And last but not least 6 Leopards plus a brand new hatchling. Oh and 22 Leopard eggs.
My family and friends really don't understand my voluntary servitude, but I thoroughly enjoy every one of them.

I started with one leopard. He got sick, and all the stuff I started doing to take care of him, it seemed like it wouldn't be much more work for a few more. Not sure what happened after that. Lol. They multiply. It is a lot of work. Better than watching tv though.

3 Redfoots, 3 Indian stars, 7 boxies. I find that growing fresh weeds and plants over the winter takes up most of my time but I am sure they appreciate it. We are trying to move to a larger place and then my significant other really wants a ivory sulcata, I want a leopard and an aldabra.

3.3 Burmese Stars
2.3 Subadult Radiated Tortoises
4.6.3 Juvenile Radiated Tortoises
0.1 Adult Leopard Tortoise

Please forgive my lack of knowledge here.. 2.3 torts... what does that mean? 2 female? 3 male? Something like that?
