Meet Joey, I am a sucker!

Ok my sucker sign went off today again, lol. I just got in a Russian Tortoise so here are some pics and tell me what you think. I think he is a little dehydrated and skinny. I also guessed him as a male but I could be wrong

By the way Oscar just loves him, NOT! and in the last picture you can see Grizzly is real impressed. I should Quarantine him but he appears to ahve no respitory infections at all.


Oh and yes he will be looking for a forever home after a few weeks

Yep your right he is a boy, now if he was a girl I'd tell you to pack him up and ship her to me. LOL Give him a few soaks and make sure his food has been rinsed before you feed (don't dry it off). Yah I know you know what you are doing.

Because they become more territorial and with two males in one female, there is a good chance for a fight. Just like with humans. LOL Feel free to send females my way. You know how males like to strut their stuff around a herm of females.

LOL NIcole I know very well the feeling of that "sucker light" that flashes over my head!
If I could I would take in everything that comes along!
Fortunately I have this little red headed Irish woman that tends to act as my self control!

Where do I get one of those little red headed things because I can sure use some self control, lol

By the way Colleen I will watch for the females and keep you in mind
Be careful what you wish for, lol seems to be an epidemic of torts lately, lol
Ups could drop a box with 20 of them in there,

So here is some food for thought, seems most of everything that comes my way is male, people just must not like them hmmmmmmmm...... I am aware that they fight, lol It makes it hard to take in others when you have so many males!

Or it may be that breeders tend to hang on to the females for breeding stock and put mostly males out for sale.
