Not the only way - leprosy is an infectious disease that can be passed from person to person via coughs and sneezes. I think armadillos are carriers so you may get it from touching one in the same way you could get herpes and salmonella from torts. That's why hand washing is so important after handling them - and armadillos - should the occasion ever arise.
Me neither!I don`t mind who is the winner or the last one.
Is his/her plastron flat or concave - or is it too soon to tell.
Hope he is OK.
Nice job on the shell. Considering where you live.
Or if they find a wild one they'll think it's your lost pet. That's actually ok with me if my neighbors find one around my yard...just in case. That happened to me last late July. I just turned her loose the next day a few feet from where she got picked up. The Midwest paint came back to my front door and played around the hostas in my flower bed before she left. My neighbor had found her being bullyed by cats and trying to cross a really busy city street.Hi Ben - hope you've been studying in your absence and it's going well.
You'll be getting called the Tortoise Boy and everyone will be bringing you their tortoises!!
I'm known as the tortoise lady since I was stopped by some people who asked me why I'm picking dandelions. Luckily I've not been asked to take in any unwanted torts.
Make sure you quarantine the lodger away from your own torts - better safe than sorry!
You find the most crazy-making pictures! I love them...keep them coming! [emoji12]
I really like armadillos! They are so friendly and tame. Does anyone ever keep one as a pet?
Saphire sniffs everything he eats first but will try to eat ivy, blue shiney yarn, and once me. I've always loved him but I trust that every one of my animals will find a way to get in trouble. Hope the little tiny early flower doesn't cause too much distress.
Don't know about that - maybe there's no signal where she is.
