I've wanted a galapagos for a long time. Unfortunately, unless I want to get rid of everything in my house and sleep on the ceiling, I won't be able to have one until I move into a large house. Even then, I have to wait until I own the house and am willing to give up my entire yard. I wonder how they would do with Colorado, USA winters...

Your torts are beautiful!

Wonderful group of tortoises. You are so lucky to have them.

We used to raise Welsh Terriers in the '60's. Great little doggies!! I have fond memories.

Probably wrong place to post this question, but I guess this can be addressed to you in particular alexch. But where do people/where did you get your galapagos tortoises? I thought they were protected from trade?

You can get one for about $20,000 if you can find a breeder.
