Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 10:50 amPosted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 10:56 amI've always thought they were the cutest lil things. The only thing stopping me from getting one is how darn big they get. What are your plans for the future with this cute little garbage disposal?
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 10:59 amThey can grow BIG lol and I've thought about that. My relatives in Arizona have like ten sulcatas and russian tortoises. They prefer big torts so when Mups gets too big to be with me, she/he will be sent to Arizona to live with my grammies
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 11:07 amGlad you've thought ahead. You really think you'll be able to part with him? I know I couldn't.
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 11:10 amHere are the pics Gramma sent me to ensure she can take care of her tortoises lol ..
This is Suzie - mom of five hatchlings
And this is Emera - mom of ten hatchlings
And this is Mups to show the size

Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 11:13 amYea, it's gonna be hard but I have in the back of mind that Mups is truly a once in a lifetime experience taking care of him and watching him eat and chomp, lol, its too funny
But he'll be better and happier there and I can do week visits

Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 11:23 amI don't want to bring you down, but what is going to happen to them when your grandmother is no longer around to care for them? They'll probably outlive you as well.
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 11:24 amShould have added, that they're obviously well taken care of! Good lookin girls!
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 11:38 amMy family has taken care of torts five generations before lol, I'm the only one with aquatic turtles.
All my relatives are in Arizona and all together,they have about 60 sulcatas, russians, hermanns and greeks. So when my gramma cannot take care of her what she calls "kids that listen," we not need to worry, we're all very experienced and sure enough proud.
And gramma does a real good job with her torts. Suzie and Emera are sisters, and they hatched in grammas backyard when she was 15.
