Thanks for your input Yvonne, I knew I could count on you! But should I keep them apart anyways since Cooper is a sully? I have read so many things about mixing different kinds of tortoises but it seems most of it is bad. I WANT an Ivory some day to be with Cooper, but, money is an object... Unless Dean wants to re-home Snowflake! HAHA, wishfull thinking! She is a beauty!!! Thank you!

Oops! Sorry...what was I thinking? Of course you should keep them separate.(hits self on forehead with heel of hand!)

I like that the pic shows him eating a cactus pad, a good sign for his nutritional status.
Oh get him, get him!

Well..... I don't think my wife is wanting to do the drive now so the answer is still up in the air. Come to find out the person also has a 6 yearold redfoot they want to sell also for 100. Me so sad.... :( Have a great day Angela!

Well I tried that tonight and it worked good Angela! So :) :)
What happened was he layed his head on my nose and went to sleep but my head got sore from trying to keep that position so I put my head back on the pillow and he sort of crawled up with just his front legs on my chest and his back legs on the bed and went back to sleep in that position, like he was almost standing on his back legs, he cracks me up! Have a good one Angela!!!
And Amanda1 thanks for the craigslist info! I'm calling about the Russians tomorrow! Thank you!!! :)

I gave up on the Golden Greek for $50 because the drive would have been about 10 hours round trip.. So instead I am getting this female Russian for $50! Which also includes her habitat, lights, heat mat, and her hide log. Cooper and I are very excited, well I am anyways! :)

Yaaaayyyyyy.....she is a cutie for sure...I love when they stretch out their back legs like that when they eat....way cool about the deal you got as well...that makes bringing a new tort in a bit smoother in not having to get all set up first hand...so uh, when are you going to tell Coop? Maybe show him her pic first....:D:D

I am so excited for you (and Coop) :D I know she will think he is a cutie :p

Thanks my lady! I sure wish they could be put together just for short periods of time just so Cooper could have another tort to walk around with. But I don't want either 1 of them getting the other 1 sick. :( but then again Cooper thinks he is a person so I don't want his personality to change! Lol! Have a great day Angela!! :):):D
