Tortoise Tales
Tortoises have become an unexpected part of my househould. Browsing a reptile convention in college, I didnt know that a tortoise breeder would convince me to take one home that same day. Soon enough, that friend turned into three. Now I own a redfoot, a sulcata, and a russian tortoise. Together, they are deemed: "The High Council of the Tortoise." I usually picture them in long black robes with the wisdom of many ages, talking about the future of humanity in a dimly lit temple. Scary. Yet, in reality, they sit in the corner with a grouchy stare waiting to be fed.
