Leo DiCaprio buys a tortoise!

Turns out he was at NARBC with the intention of buying!

According to sources, Leo called a California pet store that specializes in rare reptiles and requested the tortoise one day before he picked it up. We're told the tortoise ran Leo a cool $400.
We're told Leo asked for the biggest tortoise they had -- a 38-pounder -- but according to experts, Sulcatas can grow to weigh 200 pounds.

Re: Leo DiCaprio buys a tortoise!
Why do people go stupid when they see famous people out in the general public? I think its cool they like reptiles also but they dont deserve being hounded by people.Hey maybe they are helping us keep our reptiles so LEAVE THEM ALONE

I love how they make it sound like a big deal that he spent 400 bucks on a tort. Hes loaded. Hes probably still sitting on money from titantic plus inception and shutter island.

I think it's a great thing for celebs to get into herps! I know torts don't exactly have a bad rep with the public, but it's nice for people to see that reptiles aren't strange pets.
