    Grouchy man emerging for breakfast.

    Good evening Tammy. I did not find Wellington’s response to be either knowledgeable or endearing, so I suppose that they should be thankful to have you here to extoll their alleged virtues. However, I do feel that you both need to work on your delivery, and for you to remark on my "snippy"...

    I'm very sorry to hear that. American states seem more akin to individual countries relative to our provincial system here in Canada, and as such I am unfamiliar with most of the laws and legislature to which you and yours are bound.

    Thank you. I am unfamiliar with what varieties of crushed oyster shell that you have access to in America, but I would assume that your selection is superior to what I have where I currently live. Flat oyster shell would have been preferable, but I've never seen it available. I'll explore your...

    Penis or prolapse?

    I have a yearling Egyptian tortoise who has recently begun to exhibit what I consider to be somewhat frightening behaviour. I will attach a photograph, but for lack of a better description, I worry that my animal may be prolapsing. This has only started in the last couple of weeks, with no...

    Thank you, Pilot. Pilot, I see that you are a long-time member and also a moderator...do you know of any informative threads on mercury vapor bulbs that you could link me? I have read on several care sheets that that they are a viable option, but many people on TortoiseForum are of the opinion...

    Thank you, Astrid. I have reviewed that document a few times now. It is quite informative. I am getting conflicting information on whether or not mercury vapor bulbs can be safely utilized with this species. I will keep reviewing the forum for the time being. Caleb
