: he's almost the same size as my largest female Angel. She's up at 65lbs now, a nice size, still able to pick her up.

Oh yeah, I remember...we need to get her and King Karl together in a few years:).

: Big Ben is a pain, at just over 150 lbs he does what he wants.Even the dogs don't bother him, although my Lhasa Apso mistook him for a bush and peed on him a few days ago!

Hahaha, I think of Big Ben everynight, especially when I'm lifting Karl out of his daytime hut. Gonna be interesting in another 10 years when he's pushing that poundage. Im going to build a tort mover, I'm just trying to figure out the right way to do it so the girls can do it just as easy. I'm thinking something hydrolic, it needs to be able to boost about 5 to 800 lbs for our future Galaps:). None of my other animals bother him either and he gets along with everyone..except other torts.

:( Big Ben)and may stay permanently next time. Last week he got through the fence and was chomping on my neibors hibiscus.

(Permanently???) Oh no say it aint so!! Yep, chewing up the neighbors vegitation is a hobby of Mr. Kruiser as well..lol. He hasn't gotten out lately and interestingly enough, he hasn't even tried. In fact he is so spoiled that he stopped burrowing,I think because he has no reason to.

: Wish I could figure out how to post photos, so I could show of my torts too.

Any help you need just ask. It would be great to see those wonderful torts.

Ciao'
