I've been considering getting a tortoise for a few months now. I did the usual stuff: internet searches, talking to pet store employees (MISTAKE!), and just asking around. Finally I came across the TFO and that's when I made my final decision on which tortoise to get. I wanted a companion that would live as long as me. Sounds weird right? I recently lost my 15yr female Miniature Dachshund and it was heart wrenching to say the least. Although I have 3 others the loss of the one stung badly. I know that I'll have to endure the loss of my other 3 pups but there is nothing I can do about that but at least my Sullys will outlive me and I already have established their heir--my 7yr old nephew. He has been helping me out with the torts whenever he is here & I've been showing him the ropes (the ropes that Tom has shown me!). Originally I planned on only 1 baby, but 1 became 2, and soon 2 will become 3 but that's fine with me b/c I love 'em!! Sooo.... to make a long story short (too late...sorry!) that is how I decided on tortoises and which type of tortoise to get... AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!

They are both adorable. Are they twins from the same clutch? You might give them twin sounding names.

The pictures are so cute :)

Thank you soooo much! Yes, they are from the same clutch although one's a little fatty so it may be hard to tell. Rhyming names sound good. Any ideas?? My nephew wants to name them Cosmo & Wanda after the fairies on Fairly Odd Parents... hahaha! :)
