well, i am looking to adopt tortoise.. really especially desert kind.. cos i love them and my friends have them.. they know how to take care of their pet.. and i really love to go their house just because of their pet.. rediculouse i know.. especially when those pets ignore me dont' make a sound and always sleep.. but letting them eat from my hand makes my day... :).. i hope you will give him to me or if you would like you can sell it to me.. i am ready for it.. pls?..
do send me email i would like to hear from you soon..

: : : My friend received a leopard tortoise as a gift last May. She keeps him in a glass cage with a heater, the cage is about 4ft. x 2ft. She lets him out to wander the linoleum floors, but she does not have her own place and it is difficult to ask others to live with a tortoise, who messes up the floor. She also only feeds him lettuce, spinach, a little fruit and never leaves water in a dish for him. Instead, she makes sure the lettuce has lots of water droplets on it. Lately the tortoise isn't looking so good -- she is looking for a home for him with a zoo or something, as she knows her tortoise skills are lacking. From looking at various Internet sites, I can see that this poor boy may be in trouble. Can anyone give her advice, quickly? I find myself worried about this helpless creature. Thanks, Sylvia
