Michael Foux of Austin Reptile Shows holds Titus the tortoise
Mesmerized by a school presentation when he was in third grade, a little boy began a lifelong love affair with reptiles.
The little boy, Michael Foux of Austin Reptile Shows, grew up and got married. Now he and his wife, Christie, are trying to build an enclosure for their friend Titus, an African Spur Tortoise who can grow to over 200 pounds.
Oh, and there’s also the little matter of the 60 or so other reptiles that live in their house, as part of their growing collection.
Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, the Great Hills Open Air Market shut down in May 2013.
