UPSCALES Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Welcome to the world of herpetology. You and your family are going to have a blast watching that tortoise turn into a hundred pound blob with legs. Everyone always asks why I carry reptiles, well it's because I sell the crap out of them, plus they are pretty cool. Thanks Mike and family Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swilson Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Picure of "Tank the Tort" Here he/she/it is!!!!!!!!!!! Tank fits in the palm of your hand and weighs about as much as an egg. Sooooo tiny, not for long though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 How big, how fast do they grow? How big would one be that size in 5 years. Just wondering. Thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hey Ryan Travis had one that was around 6 years old and was the size of shoe box, (give or take), Not sure how much that one weighed. They can get to be 100+ pounds and are the third largest tortise in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Man that would be so cool. My aunt used to raise tortise's when I was little. I cant remeber what kind they were. They are so cool. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 We have been told to expect the tortise to out live us, (he'll pass me easy), so I figure when then time comes and we need to move him. We'll call a zoo to take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
