As the saying goes, "once you pop you can't stop"... and actually tortoise people would probably agree - once you have one you just can't help but wanting more. I had had Sasha for about 6 months when I decided that I "needed" another female. Man'ka really REALLY liked Sasha and wasn't shy about showing it. It seemed like getting another female would be the best way to take some of his "affections" off Sasha - or at least that's what I like to tell myself <bg>. On May 26, 2006 Zoya arrived in Juneau all safe and sound from Florida.

Zoya was also small when she arrived - about 4.5" SCL - so she and Sasha were perfect together.

Zoya and Sasha look very different however - Zoya is rather flat while Sasha is more domed.

Peeking out and saying hi - isn't Zoya just so darn cute!

Zoya loves to climb and will do so any chance she gets...

I climbed up here all by myself!
