I'm so excited! In just over 3 weeks, my husband and I get to go to Ethiopia. The main purpose of the trip is completely unrelated to tortoises... but I HAVE arranged to get to visit a pair of Ethiopian leopard torts while we are there. I will be sure to take lots of pics, which I will then post here once I get back home.
These 2 specific ones are someone's pets, and have been in captivity for decades. I'm HOPING to happen past some in the wild as well... but our 'in the wild' time is going to be somewhat limited.
Penelope, our very non-Ethiopian leopard, will be very jealous of the shell rubs her (hopefully giant) Ethiopian counterparts will receive...
