I'm guilty! My herd is forever growing!

I only want the one tortoise. I'm the type of person to get dedicated and committed to one pet, but I do admit I regularly read the classifieds and my heart breaks a little each time.

There are so many badly treated tortoises coming out of the woodwork lately and I KNOW I could do better for them, but I don't have the time, space or money even to house them temporarily to ensure they're sold to someone who knows what they're doing. I should probably stop looking, but it's become something I keep doing. A few weeks ago, I did end up sending an e-mail to someone asking them to pass on my e-mail address when they sold their 'Official Name: Hermann Horsfield Leopard Tortoise, complete with a (small) aquarium, sand and food bowl - everything needed for a long and healthy life' (with added pyramiding!). Brackets are obviously my additions.

I doubt I'll hear back, but I can always hope.

I am diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. As a kid all that I thought about, wanted, dreamed of, daydreamed of, talked about, etc was turtles. I had 10 or so box turtles at any given time when I was a kid. I was thoroughly obsessed!

When I was a kid...I wanted any and all turtles I saw. I grew up in Louisiana and I would make my mom stop if we were driving and I saw one on the side of the road.... Now that I am older...I want them all...but I can control my desires a lot better! LOL

Its so true.. But the ones that pull at my heart most are the poor torts that were raised by people that don't have a clue about raising them at all and they are in need of rescue. Just about 75% of the ones I have seen on Craigslist for an example. How I wish I could save them all. But I at least was able to rescue my Ophelia from a not so great situation. Now she has the right light, food, substrate, and everything she needs. And she will be able to spend time outside this year!
Have a great day my forum friends!

One at a time...
Yes, I want them all too. Period.

Several times I have reached a point where I had so many that it was a burden to care for them all. This is what stops me from getting 10 more... species. When I win the lottery, have nothing but time on my hands, and can hire someone to care for them with me, THEN I will want, and try to obtain them all.

For now I have learned to appreciate and enjoy the many that I am lucky to have.

 

[l0velesly]

I totally agree! The pics satisfy my tortoise obsession

 

[bigred]

I have had to many at one time to, ornate box turtles, sulcatas,elongated,Radiated and Redfoots. Some hibernated and came in and out of hibernation. It did become a chore so I thinned out the herd. I now only have redfoots and 2 radiated and a bunch of redfoot eggs. "some People" still probably think I have to many but I dont. I might have room for 1 more female redfoot It is easy to get carried away

Someday (hopefully soon) when I have a backyard, I'm going to get many more Russian tortoises, and hopefully start breeding them. But for now, two is going to have to be it!
