I planted some tortoise seed mix I had along with some other veggie seeds I threw in there. most of it is the local weeds that grow in this area.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I found a home for the tort. There is a man in Jacksonville that goes around to schools and teaches kids about reptiles and he is going to take him for his program. He will have a large outdoor pen and lots of attention. Alberta

Hi, thanks. I got all the cinder blocks for free of of freecycle. it is a yahoo group that is in just about every city and people give away stuff they don't want anymore. if you go to freecycle.org you can find a local one. I painted the outside with a special paint for cinderblocks so it would...

I will probably have to get in there with some scissors and trim it up some to it doesn't get to overgrown on him until I get him some friends. my sulcatas don't use the dog houses anymore they have burrows dug under the shade cloths.

here are some pictures of my russian tortoise enclosure completely finished. here is a picture of fluffy(the kids named him) sunning himself. there is plenty of room for a couple of more.

hi, no they haven't tried to push through the fence. they will try to reach any weeds on the outside but thats it. the fence is hog pannels and is very strong. easy to move but once the grass and weeds start growing around it it becomes at one with the ground. I am sure once they get bigger I...

my name is Alberta and I live in florida

yes it is the same one. it's surprising what sunshine and the right foods will do. I don't supplement them at all. they just eat the weeds and grass that grows in the yard. they also eat some of the grass hay that I use as bedding in their house in the winter. thanks Alberta

here are pictures of the sullys pen. it will look better once summer gets here and everything is growing again. I also give them time to roam the yard when we are outside. this is my new rescue that I took in. I am looking for a home for him.

I have a couple of sulcatas that I have had for a few years. I know the one is a male for sure. He has shown his boy parts. this one I am not sure about. I think it is a female. she does try to hump my male but I don't know if it is a dominate thing or not.

I just finished my russian tortoise inclosure. I only have one russian right now but have plenty of room for a couple of more. looking for some rescues. I plan on painting the outside of the cinderblocks white to match the house and plant some flowers in the tops of the cinder blocks to make...
