Not just one, but TWO! TWO! Two tortoises for you viewing pleasure!

A few years ago we got this big dude, Moses. He wasn't quite that big, mind you, but he's still not full grown. They are supposed to live for 150 years, and get to be about 150lbs. *wibble* Quincey is sitting like that, btw, because Moses was trying to eat his shoes, and it was making him nervous. *g*

And here is "Little Mo". Yeah. I wanted to name her something cool, and the kids decided that 'cool' was not uh ... 'cool.' *eyeroll* She is the same breed as "Big Mo" but about 10 years younger. I 'think' she's a girl, but I'm not sure. I am sure, however, that Moses is a boy because YOWZA! *scrubs eyes* Let's just say that the female tortoises are not left wanting. I had no idea that reptiles had massive wangs. Thank god they aren't constantly dangling like most mammals.

Wow. One day I will actually comb my hair and put on some make up before I post a photo of myself! Here's me and 'Big mo', just to give you an idea of his size. I am about 7 feet tall and 600lbs, so that gives you an idea of how huge HE is! okay, I'm five feet tall and my weight shall remain unsaid Mo, however, has gotta be pushing 50 pounds.

And finally, here's a close up of Little Mo. She looks at tad vengeful here, but that's just my crappy photography skills. The only thing she is attacking and devouring are the million dandylions scattered all over our lawn. They are both actually quite sweet and gentle.
