      :sad: :mad: How awful, I love Tortoises. Sometimes I really detest humans ... well, they are not and I hope they find the criminals who did this. Will someone from there please keep me posted on updates.

          @Victoria I used to know the giant tortoise on St Helena and he was very friendly. He was thought to be well over 100 and nearly blind but was quite happy for the grandkids of the Governor of the island to play with him. He lived in the grounds of the Governor’s mansion and his name was Johnathan. I used to call there every couple of months and he recognised my voice - and I always brought him a lettuce :heehee:

            Apparently the boss of a company I used to work for had a fairly large tortoise that they kept in the kitchen during the winter months. :rolleyespink::frown:

                          We sadly lost both of our Snake plants last year ,they were about 6 years old.

                          They died without me trying to kill them off .:sad: :noidea:
