Re: My hatchlings

Awww! They are so sweet. I feel all broody looking at them. Due to moving all my Reps from a small room to a much larger one ( my OH has eventually fulfilled his promise)I can actually accomodate 2 more vivs and a couple of tortie tables, so seeing this has got me thinking about an early Xmas prezzy.
Torties are quite special I think.

Yes there's something special about torts! The female I'm breeding from I've had from a hatchling and can never imagine not having her

Hi jeniferx, I've managed to source a good pet shop, the guy also has torts himself as pets - including red foots and only sells torts from Uk breeders. I do agree that more willing to source these shops would make a difference. But some want to see the 'good home' first hand which I also understand - its been a very hard decision to make to be honest.
