Here's the second knife that Mrs. Martin did for me. At my request, she did this one with tortoises as the subject.
In 1986, I purchased a small (4" long) Greek Tortoise female that I named "Baby". My son's ex-wife and I converted a large portion of their back yard (around 3000 square feet of space) into a dedicated tortoise habitat. Their home is only 125 feet or so from mine and actually belongs to me. A few years went by and I aquired a mature male and the fun began. I now have a colony of around 30 of them, all but the original two and another male I adopted were hatched right there in the enclosure.
They are pretty special creatures and contrary to what many people think, are not like having a pet rock! Some of them have great personalities.
Anyway, here's the really special, Camel Bone 500 Duke.
