Fred (mid fifties) out full time now, but takes himself in and out of his straw filled box as he chooses. Can't say he is very impressed with the rain!

Thanks guys, he is a real pocket rocket! Fred's scutes look so flared compared to Oakleys's. Fred is still asleep, has anyone else got their old boys or girls up yet?

Oldies x2?

Sadly a death over hibernation has occurred, but not the tortoise, the owner. It looks like Oakley is now coming our way. He is a about 55 as he wandered into the owners garden in 1960 and was small...

Fred was bought in 1960 and was small then, so probably in his early to mid fifties now. He is a lovely spur thighed male but has a marginated look about his shell. It has been suggested by some of...

I am 44 Fred is in his early 50's. If we could both double are ages I would be happy, but I suspect Fred will still be going strong when I am gone!
