Hey everyone,

Thought I'd share some photos of George, the 194lb male Sulcata tortoise.

He's a big guy, most recent addition to the herd - but beyond friendly. He used to be part of some local reptile zoo.

Nice, rather smooth shell, great personality.

He's a cutie! :) How many in your herd?
Hey Rue, I've got 6 large individuals in my herd, one of which is an ivory male. Then 2 juveniles that hatched naturally in my yard last year. The remaining eggs didn't make it, 3 initially hatched but one got taken by a hawk.

This year I plan to find the nest and incubate the eggs. (I hadn't even known one of my females had laid last year - hence why there was such a low hatch rate).

I look forward to the tegubuzz notification lol. Great snapper videos. I enjoyed watching them. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! Didn't know you're one of my subscribers. What's your YouTube username? I may recognize it, I tend to respond to everyone.

I have another unboxing video coming tomorrow! Also, if you know my videos - you haven't seen George yet. Tank and him seem to occupy two different parts of the yard.

Tomorrows unboxing will be exciting! Pond addition.

Well I don't really comment on there. Since I only watch videos during my lunch break , but I'll b sure to like and comment all of your videos from now on. As a matter of fact. I'll go do that right now. It's "Guz Paniagua" by the way. I don't have any vids on there.
