Excluding breeders who obviously really do have several creeps of tortoises, how does the average tort pet owner not end up with a bunch of tortoises?! I love having these guys!

I hear you and it’s ok. I didn’t get my first turtle until I was in college, and didn’t get a tortoise until I was married and many kids later (last year). It was worth the wait. I am mostly wondering how to keep myself from ending up with like 10 tortoises in the future, lol.I wish I could have a bunch of torts. My parents will not let me.
I like that idea...able to count on one hand.I only have 1 tort. I chose to keep it that way !
Many years ago, I had 23 rabbits at one time. It was 3 generations. It was fun, but I want to keep things simple now.
Oh, I do have 2 rescue rabbits now, as they were both abandoned seperately by their previous owners. But 2 is still easier still.
If I can them on one hand, that's good.
I see your beautiful leopard. What species is your second tortoise?I have 2 and I'm pretty happy with that. I love watching them stomp around and go about their business. Thankfully i just keep in mind my available space lol. My kids stuff takes up a lot of room obviously all over the place, Because let's face it, when does a kid actually put things away like they should, plus I have 2 dogs that starfish EVERYWHERE and take up way more room than you think is possible, then the hubs hobbie tables and shelves. Then the torts, then little ol me lol with my laptop haha ? ?♀️
After I think about all that, I'm good lol. Its like hanging out with your crazy neice for a few hours and realizing you don't want any more kids even though you love her ?
EXACTLY!Money & Space.
Yes, probably the number one reason I haven’t gone crazy. That..and my husband was already nice enough to let me have even one.Money & Space.
Same!! I sold an old terrarium and gave him the cash and said thanks for letting me have my torts and being understanding. He came back with, ' like I had a choice ?Yes, probably the number one reason I haven’t gone crazy. That..and my husband was already nice enough to let me have even one.
