Last year Todd talked the boys into earning money and buying a turtle. Sounded like a great idea at the time. It was pretty expensive ($100 not including the lights, bark, etc) but the boys had enough cash so they all went to the pet store and bought a Russian Tortoise and named him Harry Potter. We lost him once when he escaped in the backyard during FHE but found him a few days later at a neighbors house. We had him in an old fish tank and he never did anything until we put him in a wooden box - and he has blossomed ever since. Sophie loves her turtle and likes to bury him in the bark and sometimes put his food or water bowl on top of him. She loved it when I would give her veggies to put in his cage.
When Todd put the fish tank up for sale he put the turtle up for sale too. We got an offer from a breeder but didn't know if he was a boy or girl ... HA! Then the guy who bought our fish tank said he wife loved the turtle and he ended up buying it the same day he took the fish tank. Not a bad day's work. When he was carrying the cage out to his car Sophie was following him saying "turtle...turtle...." it was hilarious. We are now a 1 pet family - and no we are NOT selling Shadow.
