I had enough of cats No, just kidding. I love my cats. I have been interested in reptiles for a very long time. I decided to buy one from a local pet store (despite knowing it was probably a bad idea) because I wanted to get a lizard and didn't know any breeders. I was looking at lizards, and I saw the tiny cage with 5 russian tortoises inside, and they all looked so sad. I watched them for a bit, and Elmo kind of just looked at me, and I left with a tortoise instead of a lizard. I loved having one so much, I decided to buy my sulcata from someone who couldn't house her, afford her (let's just say didn't want her) And I can image that, somewhere down, the road, I'll have many more tortoises to spoil and love fore many many years
