When did you develop a love for turtles and tortoises? Is there a story behind it?
Mine started as a young boy around four or five. My father would pull over for every turtle we passed crossing the road, and I would hold it the whole way home.. I still remember the first tortoise I saw. We use to go to a yearly Renaissance festival called scourbroughs fair and this old man had a large sulcata with him every year.. I use to just watch the tortoise for as long as I could.. I would be more excited about seeing the bearded man and his tortoise than I was about any other attractions at the festival..
