The 49ers QB has had a sulcata since he was 10. Just thought I'd share...

So smooth and pretty. Now I can't help but wonder if he is indeed a member of this forum, lol.

The Wall Street Journal asked us for a comment on this the other day, after a few rescues started trash talking sulcatas again.... Unfortunately, they took a sentence out of a massive explanation I gave them. Here's a new link:

This is so neat. There's something about tortoise keepers: it tells me that Colin must be a really nice man. Love this story. Oh, and thanks Evan and cwharris for sharing the story with us.

It's nice to read a story about a tough guy treating his pet well - sadly it's usually the opposite these days. Guys, just so you know, girls love men who are compassionate and kind to animals. It's sexy.

I totally fell in love with him after reading the article. I think it was a combination of the awesome tortoise and the ease at which his muscles allowed him to hold it up with.... True love.

I don't care who he is, that is just plain sweet. A boy and his tortoise. I love it!
