They really do have there very own little personalities and I love just watching them do there thing. They can do some real funny things. It took me a long time to get my parents to agree to letting me have one. Tortoises are different to when they had them in the old days and need a lot more care and attention now. I refer to mine as the kids as they really are apart of the family. Hope your able to get one soon.
