Thank you for your interest in Tortuga Villa.... |
We are Paul and Rosilee, hobbyists and breeders of several species of Tortoises. Prior to
Tortoises, our hobby was raising and breeding Chameleons. Although currently we
keep only a few Chameleons as pets, we are including photos and information for those
of you who share our appreciation of these beautiful and exotic creatures.
Paul has always had a passion for exotic animals. Rosilee has a passion for all animals
and loves to care for them. So after adopting our first two Tortoises, Elvis and Elvira, we
began wanting more and more and more....and the rest is history.
We hope you will find our web-site interesting and informative and we look forward to
receiving your email and comments. Meanwhile, we would like to introduce ourselves,
show you around Tortuga Villa and let you meet others who live here.

| This is Paul.....doing what he loves most ..... hanging out with the Tortoises. Paul holds a very important position at Tortuga Villa as Chief of 'Internal & External' Affairs. He's in charge of feeding the Tortoises and scooping up their poop. Actually, Paul does a lot more ......his goal is to have a lot of Tortoises without allowing our property to 'look' like we have a lot of Tortoises..... (or maybe that is Rosilee's goal)...... but that can keep him very busy. Paul also builds Tortoise houses, incubates their eggs, sprays off the cement, supervises cleaning their houses, bathing the Tortoises and.....(you guessed it)....... scooping up more poop. So as you can see, Paul is very busy with his hobby. |
This is Rosilee. She is also very busy
serving as First Lady to the Chief of 'Internal
& External' Affairs, providing necessary
behind the scenes encouragement and
motivation to scoop up the poop, spray off
the cement, bathe the Tortoises, etc.... She
is also in charge of 'measuring', 'leveling'
and holding things while the Chief builds
Tortoise houses. The First Lady's primary
concern is to keep the 200 lb Tortoises from
entering Tortuga Villa's big house where
she hangs out with the Chief when he's
not.... (you guessed it).... scooping up poop.

| This is Tortuga Villa's 200 lb tortoise...the only one we can trust to spend time in the front yard without wandering off.. He's also very easy to care for...we haven't fed or watered him in years, yet he maintains a good weight. |
