Love and hugs for you xx

i really dont know whether i should. all i know is that next time i do get one, it wont be a young one - maybe about 5 years old or something. I know what you mean though..when my first ever leo died the first thing i did was rush out and get another one and it did help

First of all, I am really sorry that your tort has died.

Please do not think for one moment, that I am pouncing on this situation, but I am trying to gather data on young torts that die. Am I correct in thinking that you got your tort from Hamm last year?

If you need time to grieve for your loss, and you feel like telling me to go take a jump, then I will understand. But your experience with an import tort can only benefit us all...Once again Jenna, I am sorry that you have lost your pet...regards...T.T.
