Just took some pics of Squirt in the new Tortoise pen. don't worry folks I was on the outside of the pic waiting to grab Squirt soon as the shot was taken. As you can see my 13 year old daughter was struggling. Oh they grow up so fast, one day a cute little baby then next thing you know they are eating you out of house and home. Oh yeah same goes for the kids too! Ha!

Aww, he's a very handsome guy! Your daughter is beautiful too.

BTW, somedays I think I'd trade my kids for a herd of tortoises. Tortoises may be huge and stubborn, but at least they can't talk and don't cause dirty laundry. ;)

Just look at those legs!

Everyone always raves at how fast the sulcatas grow, but in my experience, the Aldabrans grow So Much Faster!

Squirt looks great.

Heavy, young, and long......LOL.

Thanks Greg, that about covers it. Ha, early spring he/she was around 16 inches SL and 46 lbs. A 2006 baby. Now that we are in july and Squirts been mowing the lawn I am sure things have changed. I'll have to get out there and measure and weigh him that is if I can catch him...these boogers are fast when they see you coming!!!
