I've had Roland, my 9 1/2" yellow foot tortoise for about 1 month (my first tortoise ever), and I just want to say that I am absolutely in love with him. It has been a little bit of a challenge getting our routine down as I have 3 dogs, a cat, 2 kids, a husband, and I work full time. But I'm so glad that I adopted him, he is so social and fun to watch. I can see now why all of you are so tort crazy!
