a tortoise

Hes a Herman tortoise.. grow about the size of a dinner plate (so i am told) but will out live me if he is kept healthy. Cost me £120 but the girlfriend give me £40 towards it.. SHES SO KIND it was her that wanted him in the first place and i was up for it but not so damn soon. So anyways i am proud to present...


GEORGE





Keeping him standard for now, might add some go faster stripes to his shell.. smooth and colour code

Aww i love him though

yes you can hibernate them if you want to.. they require a certain temperiture and a dark place.. tricky to do and it adds about 2-3 years to their life span. not worth it at all

British tortoises are illegal to keep or you need some paper's. but these arent the same ones, bred in the UK though so its fine

its very hard to hibernate though, need to starve them for 2 weeks and then bang them in a very cool place that doesnt change temp otherwise it will keep waking up and sleeping etc. can get ill from it and die. and sam-smith.. as far as im aware, no lol

as it cost so much im not willing to find that out, but if i somehow find it on its back because it was daft enough to get there in the first place then i wont hesitate to give it a little spin and record it
