Hello, im new to this site...little confusing....I had a desert tortoise till three months ago when he past away at age 15....very sad about it...kinda got a little depressed...so my aunt bought me a RES.....got her or him a little terrarium this week and purchased a friend for him or her....so now i have two RES....im currently looking to fill Edwards home once again...Edward was my desert tortoise.
