Oddly absent, but maybe he is simply busy.

Sorry I haven’t been around much. Wish I could come on more often.

I work full time for Medtronic Inc- software engineer for insulin pumps with people with diabetes
Work at a ranch trying to help care for 400+ animals
Work after work doing tutoring with high school students in all math/science
Run an aviation business doing flight rental/training, and scenic tours
Work for the US Army as a helicopter pilot
Work on the weekends doing animal shows - did 4 this weekend - in Laguna Beach, Tarzana, Manhattan Beach, and Paso Verdes

And I just got notice that my California Army National Guard has got activated to help fight the fires in Yosemite...

I appreciate everyone's input on the Galapagos babies.

They are really awesome little guys. Wish everyone could enjoy a Galapagos tortoise hatchling!

Just a quick question though, I thought it was illegal to own a galapagos tortoise in most areas?

No, just illegal to ship them across state lines without a permit.

It's a fine point, but its actually not illegal to ship them across state lines without permits if its for a breeding loan or given as a gift. It's only illegal to SELL them across state lines without a permit.

I'm not even close, as his post below your question demonstrates. :D
