my new leopard tortoise

Ian.g · #1 (**permalink**) 24-01-2009, 06:50 PM

just a quick pic of my new leopard tortoise...he is bigger than i expected so am going to be having to convert the 5x2 viv in our living room for him (taking off the glass doors, and adding extra ventilation at back) as he is a wee bit big for the 4ftx18in table/viv...anyway here he is

as some may remember i had to sell my torts a few years ago due to personal circumstances

but now i am back on track and so chuffed with our two new additions

He's stunning and Valentine's a great name for him.

(My son was born on 14th Feb and I wanted to give him Valentine as a middle name but my hubby wouldn't let me

)
