Ms. Tomato, age 5

Hi, I am Ms. Tomato. Yes, even I thought that was a funny name. In April 2023, my owner passed away at age 86, and no one wanted me, so I was taken to a reptile rescue. One day, a lady walking by my terrarium stopped to take a look at me and commented on how gorgeous I was! I heard someone warn that I was not easy to handle, but the next thing I knew, the lady asked if she could take me. She became Mom. I was introduced to my sisters, Dad, and dog brother! My sister called me Tomato, and we all chuckled. My mom works at a school, so I live there and come home on weekends. Everyone was surprised that I drink water, yawn, crawl under giant dry leaves, and love to look at people. Now all I hear is how cool I am!
