Those are awesome!

I think it's so cool that you have to artificially hibernate them come winter... that's so nifty!

I x-rayed my tortoises today like i do every year to make sure none of the females are holding eggs before they go into hibernation and this is what i found.

Why? Are you looking to buy one?

I like it hot. I hate cold weather.

I'm amazed that you have to go through all of that for tortoises. I think that would prevent me from starting that hobby.

Again, that's amazing. Do you take them to the vet for those x-rays?
