    *Welcome Home Mac!*

    Today, we got a red-footed tortoise!

    His name is Mac. He's supposed to be my 5 year old brother's "first pet," however we will be taking care of him. We picked him up today... he is SO cute! Even though he'll grow to about 18 inches in diameter, he's only about 2 and a half inches right now. ^.^

    Pictures coming soon!

    Here are some pictures I just took.

    On his log hideout:


    A size comparison to my hand: (He's going to get wayy bigger than this... after a year or so we'll have to build something for him outside)


    "I kinda wike dis noo howse!"


    He's not afraid of anything, not even the camera!


    His whole setup:


    "Ooh, yum, grapes!"




    More coming..

    How big will he get? My friend got one of those baby tortoises that grow to be huge! Will he get really big? He's beautiful, what a charmer!

    Thanks everyone!

    Kari, he'll get to be about 18" in diameter. Believe it or not, this is the smallest breed of tortoise!

    Aw, that'll be a good size! Do they live a long time? He really is pretty!
