Woohooo I did it. I bought a tortoise. I don't know if i'm posting this in the right place but i'm just so darn excited.
She is a Leopard Tortoise,
she's approx 4 years old.
As soon as i saw her with her head on the glass, eyes closed, asleep I knew she was mine. She's so pretty. When she woke up she was so active. She just seems so lovely. Never thought i'd say it but is it possible to feel a connection with a tortoise?
I've named her Squirtle.
Squirt for short.
(Any geeks here, or people with kids, will get where the names from
and i know. Squirtle was based on a turtle but i think it's a cool name!)
I've paid for her and I collect her on Sunday when my table should be ready
So i'll be sure to post lots of pictures of the table and her arrival.
A picture of her I took today with my phone.
(oh and we are guessing she's a female. I believe it's too early to sex her fully though?)
Hope you like her I think she has very pretty shell markings. Although I don't have a side photo yet.
