I know the feeling but we are getting rid of some turtles so we could keep something different.
So jealous of anyone that want to the hamburg show, I love my salt water tank but my love for bearded dragons is right up there.
Pick up a green tree python from hamburg. (Yearling biak)

Yes and yes Paul. They can get up around 2 feet and weigh well over 100 lbs. Certainly not a pet for everyone. They eat like a horse, dig like a backhoe and can outlive you, your children and your grandchildren. Nothing against Madreefer, I wish nothing but the best care and health for his, but in my opinion, not at all an animal that should be sold as a pet to the general public. 95% or more just aren't cared for properly. The good news is that Madreefer has always wanted one and that means to me that he has probably read it all and knows what's coming his way. Good luck!!
Hey Mark, just out of curiosity, because I’m not a reptile person, what do you do with a big tortoise in the winter? Can they stay outside?
Paul,
I have heard of people getting a rubber maid shed in which they light and heat it during the winter. Obviously that would be very costly. Right now I can keep this guy in a tank for this winter. I will build a pen in yard for summer. Next winter is another story. Some owners let them roam around the house during the winter and some how trained them to use a litter box. I do let walk around the house daily so its not cooped up all the time.

So jealous! He is beautiful!
You can pick them up at a reptile show; any type of tortoise. The best show is in Hamburg, PA.
Oh I know my boyfriend and I used to go all the time but now its a tease, were waiting on getting our own house now!Then getting a bigger tank and a bearded dragon again!
