For Christmas my son Alexander (11 years old) got a Cherryhead Tortoise and he has named him Dale. He is about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide and I have fallen in love with him. He's the cutest although since I don't know too much about Tortoise's I guess I really don't know if he's really cute or not. I've been reading everything that I could get ahold of since Christmas to learn about him. I do know that he's a boy because of his curve (and the pet store told us he was also). They told us that they were'nt sure how old he was, but that they thought he might be a year old or so. The vet that we took him to to have him checked out told us that she thought he was more like 6 years old so we're really not sure. He is eating well only won't eat the cat food from the care sheet yet, but we'll keep giving it to him and eventually he'll try it I'm sure. He loves peppers (all colors) and he also loves figs. Anyway just wanted to introduce myself and Dale since I've seen most of your tortoises that have been posted and their all beautiful. Your site has helped me so much. I will eventally post more photos of Dale my 22 year old son is helping me with that. Have a great day everybody. Candy
