Thanks...I was really worried about the whole "hormonal cycle thing".

She already has a 40 gallon breeder tank so space shouldn't be any issue for her later on.

I haven't decided whether to change her name or not.

I know the sound of my voice does prompt her to poke her head out of her turtle shell hide [thereby making her look like the scrawniest tortoise on earth] but I'm not saying anything to her, in particular.


As far as her actually doing anything I ask her to, I gave up on that about 2 hours after I got her......
