She looks like quite a cutie. :) How big is she at one year old and are the spurs big?  :ohmy:

I love tortoises, had one as a pet when I was younger, can I be first to take lily for a walk, please.  :D
My OH says I've got to be careful at my age, and slow down abit, so I thought of being a self-employed tortoise walker. :wacko:
I do get better, honest. :nowink:

Hi

Lovely.  :)

I had a tortoise as a kid, died in hibenation, although keeping torts has changed a lot these day's.

This is a good forum for help, if you need it.

Can get a bit heated at times, but most people mean well.

Hoping to get my gecko's today or soon.

I've always wanted a tortoise (or more than one  ;) ) but so far I haven't talked Mr Sunny round. Or indeed my parents in years gone by  :lol: :lol:

One day ........

If you like growing, Shelled Warriors on Ebay sells loads of seeds for tortoises.

From common flowers to weeds !  :ohmy:
