I enjoyed your article and thought I was reading a newspaper article as well. Very well written and entertaining, I would send it (photos and all) to your local newspaper. Very cute tortoise too, especially liked the pics of him walking and then chomping on that clover.

He is the coolest and not as slow movign as you'd think. I named him, thinking of the "Tortoise and the Haire" and of the Everready Energiser Bunny, , He's Duracell. Right on about the ZERO-PROTIEN in his diet, and you ought to go to the pet shop & get their powdered vitamins and powdered minerals to supliment. Just sprinkle a bit onto his food. Also a strong caution about such things as apple seeds, eggplant, etc. They have traces of troxins that build up in their system. I also have made provisions in my will . . . I am 59 and he is 5.

All of my tortoises (different ages and breeds) know my voice, follow me around, respond to having their chins rubbed and even "beg" for food! They even wake up when i walk in the room and come right to me! They are such awesome pets but are not for the those who haven't done their research...especially because, as with most reptiles, they can be sick for 6 months or more before they begin displaying symptoms at which point it maybe too late. Oh yeah, and watch out for salmonella!! Someone asked about the personality and I will tell you that they really do have it in spades!

Her name was Hermione, but used to call her Herman until i figured she was female. She got stolen a year ago from my backyard, where i keep her. :'( I had a turtle like that once.
