Nick and Roy

They are the names of the pet tortoises little girl was keeping since 18 May 2008.

We bought them along with their 2 bro/sis for little girl's cousins RX and JS (Can't recall which was Nick or Roy), all 4 of them were placed in 1 small container and still have plenty of space for them to wander around, they were so tiny & cute then.

During end of last year, bro presented the tortoises a new & bigger home as they were growing bigger. However, they r much more bigger now, and the bigger home has lack of space for them to walk! We decided to give it away, not anywhere, but to little girl's pre-school. Little girl 1st got permission from the office last Wed, Mrs Yee (the administrator) said it'd be ok unless they r big, so I think it shouldn't be problem as they r huge. Thus b4 we sent them to pre-school on last Fri, we gave them a spa in the kitchen sink...

this is Roy, and the finger belongs to little girl (see how big it is now)...

this is Nick, it is much larger than Roy, with a very unique head too, see below...

look at the cobra look alike head, don ask me why or how, it grew the way by itself :)

Little girl brought the tortoises to show Mrs Yee for the final approval, Mrs Yee gave us the green light and we sent the tortoises to little girl's class, so that she may share her pet tortoises with her classmates and had her class teacher to help her place them into the pond.

I checked them out this afternoon, Nick settled well in the pond, marching everywhere and even climbed up to its new mates' back sometimes...

as for Roy, sun bathing on a rock quietly...

...their new home, Roy at the left circle and Nick at the right circle. It's so funny, they r the fairest among all the tortoises.

Lastly, hope Nick and Roy will live happily ever after at their new home.
