Wow he is adorable - I didn't know you could get tortoises that big. How old is he - is he tame can you stroke him. I want one and Boomhubby said maybe cos he wont be living in the house hehe.

lol I got him sept 2001 if I remember right. He fit in one hand. He cost about $60. I could sell him for about $500 now! He will live to be over 100 years old, kate knows she has to take over when I cant take care of him anymore! He can get up to 150 lbs. They dont hibernate. They eat grass, hay, and weeds. and the occasional veggies as a treat. He is tame, he will eat from my hand. He is Mr B's arch nemisis (sp?) because he eats the grass to the dirt, lol.

He's gorgeous. My rellies had a tortoise much smaller than him and had their address painted on his shell so people could take him back home cos he kept getting out and wandering around the neighbourhood. LOL
