Tortoise...

[AZZIK]

Russian tortoises are ace, definately get yourself one.

If you get a screwdriver and prise the shell off, there is an identical, smaller one inside. Keep doing this till you get to a tiny little one in the middle. It's great fun.

Dont forget to leave plenty of food if you are going on a long journey, like a four week drive to Palestine for example

Yeh thanks for the advice

We went to an RSPB event recently and they had a few tiny little tortoises in a box that had been seized - beautiful little things about the size of a matchbox. Tried offering the guy cash and then upping my offer for one, but no joy.

They're about 100 quid for a little one here. Guess that'll be about right for UK too.

Ah, perhaps it wasn't just because they arent allowed to sell seized ones then - i obviously just wasn't offering enough!

Made me chuckle for ages, that did.

Why don't you do the tortoise a favour and NOT get one as a pet ?

It's only humans who have this idiotic idea of incarcerating animals for our own sadistic pleasure.

BGG is right. If you must get one, get a free range Russian tortoise

I've got two snails. Big African f***ers they are.

You can play knock-down ginger with them.
