I can totally relate to that. I started with one, which turned to four within a year and five a year later....then a surprise egg led to number six and now I've doubled that and have twelve. But I don't intend to breed either. Not for a while at any rate and then only for the family. I feel so blessed that a female came to me unexpectedly gravid and I got to experience the whole amazing egg-laying, incubation, hatching experience.
Exciting times for you, Matt. Enjoy every second. Tortoises really do bring something special into our lives.

lovely little thing Matt, congratulations. I'm eternally inspired by them and the fact they've lived for million of years, what amazing creatures. CB
