Re: RE: Indoor Plants!
You didn't offend me at all [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH], What kind of tortoise do you own by the way...I didn't know of any tortoise that could not have fruit (I mean every once in a while not every day)

I am 13 years old, I may get hate for this but I am...I am very responsible, I have had many reptiles which I take 100% care of. In fact my Dad doesn't even like them. I have had a bearded dragon for 7 years, two leopard geckos for over 3 years, and a sulcata for 2 years...I pay for all the...
