I got my tortoise! Yay! His former owners decided to bring him over. His name is Stewie, aparently they had Louis too but she dies last year.

Anyways Stewie is about four inches long and the cutest tortoise i have ever seen, well he is the only tortoise i have ever seen.

His cage is huge i would say its about 4x2x2 i have no clue where to put it so he is sitting in the middle of my living room right now.

I will try to get some pictures later, he is sleeping right now under his log. His cage looks a little bit bare. All he has is a half log and his food and water dishes. Any ideas of anything else i can put in there? Thanks. And Boris is very cute.

I love my tortoise Chompers, he is an African Spur Thigh. I love in the summer we put up a fence and let him outside during the day. I don't know about russians, but with mine I have to make sure everything is picked up or he will try to eat it. He will bite your socks, carpet, dog's tail, and paper pretty much anything that doesn't move away from him lol!

Here he is he has grown a lot since these pictures

I lovee these pictures. i have always wanted a gecko. Thats funny that he bites everything, when i let mine out yesterday he just walked around. But when he found a sun spot he would freeze and just sit there. Haha.

Here are some pictures of Stewie, my laptop had a virus so i had to re-do everything and re-load all my pics.

Just chillin.

He really didnt care about the dog.

In the sun.

He is about four inches long. The people i got him from didnt know how old he is. Any guesses?

Very pretty! I saw one in the pet store for $60.00 He would come up to the side of the tank and chase your finger around. He was very cute.

They are so expensive at the pet store. I bought mine from a breeder at a reptile show for about $15 a piece. The one like to sit and lick the glass. He is a little "special" lol
