I've been here before but thought id best introduce myself again :)

I have previously had a Horsefield (Gurty) and a Hermanns (Thomas) however they are sadly no longer with us. :( (Reasons well beyond my control)
Its been a long time since they left me and honestly never thought i'd be visiting this page again as my wife has no interest in any pets of the cold blooded kind.
So imagine my surprise and delight when she asked me if I would like a new friend just before Christmas!!
So hello again guys meet my new best friend George!
He's 4 years old and was with a great owner before however they were moving due to Covid and were unable to take him with them.
I'm not ashamed to say I cried with utter joy when I first met him and am already planning his new enclosure in the garden for the summer.
