Luigi

A family in our Ward moved the end of the summer and had a tortoise to give away.  Knowing Monica has always wanted a turtle, I called them to see if it was still available.  It was. His name is Luigi.  The family didn't know much about him as they had only had him a few years and got him from another family when they moved. He is about 5 years old.

I went to the pet store & picked up some food & a book on turtles/tortoises.  I think he's a Russian Tortoise.  Actually, Monica helped me figure it out.  The family we got him from had been feeding him fruit every few days.  According to the book & what we found on the web, he's not supposed to have fruit.  We started buying Red Lettuce for him.  He is a very messy eater but really seems to enjoy it.
