the story behind the name,,, My 84y old dad who lived in Cornwall alone, back in april had a mild stroke so I had to pack up and go down there for a few months, I took my hatchling Lucky born last summer with me,, Anyway every time dad looked in lucky's table he'd say "hows the Tadpole" I'd say " its not a Tadpole its a Tortoise" over and over this happened and dad still couldn't get his head around the fact its a tort

, so when this one hatched this summer, it just seemed appropriate,, Tadpole it was

Thanks everyone xxxxx
