New baby tort

[Hypancistrus]

Tara and I went to the Hamburg Reptile show today. We rehomed three of our former breeder ball pythons with a friend, and also found a lovely little Sulcata tortoise to add to our educational program. She was hatched in August of this year and is currently palm sized. Sulcatas grow very slowly (1-2" per year) but when she is fully grown, she will be about 20" long and will weigh as much as a fully grown adult human. At that point she will need outdoor accomodations, but for now she's going to be in a 20 long.

Here is a photo. We named her Lucille.

Hmm... I did not know that! I will try and upload it here. Okay, I think I got it. Let me know if it doesn't show up. Also, not the greatest pic because our camera is down at the moment. It's a cell pic!

Aww. What a cutie! I love tortoises. I dream of one day having one. Probably not a Sulcata though.
