CORA BETH

Hi everyone, I have some wonderful news to share with you all...Last Sunday a new  girl joined the family , her name is Cora Beth and she is at least  a 60 year old Hermann. She has been owned by the same loving family for many many years and is a really wonderful old lady.... She has settled in really well and Gertie has taken her under her shell !!! She has shown her around the pen and Cora happily follows her everywhere. It is so nice for Cora to have company at last as she has been on her own all her life ( other than her human family of course who loved her dearly) as were most tortoises bought and aquired all those years ago.. I am so proud of Gertie, they have had a bath together (Actually in my bath as they were too big for the sink!!)  Today they went for a stroll around the formal garden and when Gertie stopped so did Cora. They ate dandelions together and then when I put them back in the pen Gertie walked back to thier house stopped still until Cora caught up..and then they settled together in the corner.. Cora will live out her life with me and will not be mated as she is not used to boys and I don't want to distress her.... I will be posting photos soon of lovely Cora...
