You do mean the chocolate right??

On Facebook the other day they had burgers covered in patchwork bacon with hot dog sausages poking out for head and legs - was def too much like a tort for me to eat. Did you see it? :-/ I'll try to find the pic again and post it.

They are lovely and smooth, very pretty. Where did you sneak them in, so they aren't noticed

The top one may well be Sandy. As they don't come with paperwork you cant really trace. Its two separate torts second one is cb, by someone on here, previous owner raised her from a hatchling, she has a very good shell to say she is CB

Yes Bev, sadly I was contacted by a lady who temped where I used to work for a while. She knew I kept torts & when she became terminally ill she asked if I would take her tort on. He was a small male horsfield. I agreed to look after him until I could find him a good home. Which came via Ann Simpson (Pussy Galore on here) & I still keep in touch with the family who have him

These both seem very shy, so I haven't seen much of their faces lol!
