Tortoise Pics needed!

Larrah · 24-05-2010, 10:43 PM

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is well and your torts are enjoying the garden!

My partner and I are getting married in December and have been thinking about table names....and he came up with the great idea of having different tortoise species! What we wanted alongside these though would be a picture of each species, we have some good ones of our Horsefield and Herman but needed some of the other species and I couldn't think of a better place to look for help! I don't want to just nab pictures off the pic part of the forum (after all they will be used at our wedding) but if you have a really good picture of any of the species below and don't mind them being used on our tables for our wedding, we would be really happy to hear from you!

Table Names

Horsefield - got a pic for this one!

Hermann - and this one!

Sulcata

Indian Star

Ibera

Pancake

Pinto - I doubt any one has one of these...but we welcome any good pics of lonesome george!

Thanks for your help in advance!! xxx

Wow

The pics look fab. Thats a Sulcata, right, Kirkie? He's beautiful

I could picture a mini saddle and bridle on him lol. Do you remember his name? Or was he definitely a he? Thanks, am very interested.

Larrah, do the pictures have to be of your own torts? Or can I get some for you from Google?

Hi,

Yeh I have some of Tora and Fifi but not not the other species. I will be able to pull some off the web but I wanted to look on here first as there may be better pictures if they are peoples own personal ones! x
