It was a heartbreaking decision to make. We knew that we weren't really equipped to own a super reptile like our Mordecai. He needed a home that would be much better suited for him than we could provide . . . so Mordecai is on his way to his new home at the Tickled Pink Petting Zoo in northeast Alabama. You can follow his new adventures there. We love you Mordecai, you brightened our lives, and we will cherish our memories of our lives together.

He came over and let me pet him one last time. I'll miss you Mordecai! (Bob)

One of the challenges we accept when rearing a growing tortoise is keeping up with his housing needs. This winter we discovered he had outgrown his trashcan "cave" so today I invented a roomier "cave" cobbled together with an old planter box, some plastic plant trays and lots of duct tape. He is all snuggled in tonight and now he has room to turn around or stretch out if he wants.

Merry Christmas from our favorite tortoise!

One of Bob's clients sent home some turnip greens for Mordecai. He was asleep when we put them in his habitat. He smelled them ... got up ... and engorged himself. Then went back to bed.

We have no idea of the exact date our Mordecai hatched from his little egg so we chose December 1st as his birthday. We were just a little late celebrating this year. I just love the look on his face as his candle burned down to an unrecognizable blob, waiting for him to taste his birthday treat. He waited until the candle went completely out before diving into his persimmon and clover treat. We also weighed and measured him--14 pounds and 16 3/4 inches! For a sulcata that is pretty diminutive.
