It's the sound my tort makes when he walks across my wooden floor. Clunk! Clunk! Clunk!

Well that is a nice pen with thick gratings. I have something similar for my russian whom I've had about 9 years. Like you, I inherited him from someone who couldn't care for him anymore and thus it was a learning curve compared to other pets I've had (dogs, cats, fish). He initially was very...

You can still get free local broadcast channels the same way as before - with an antenna. The only difference now is the signals are all digital and require a TV that can receive ATSC (digital) signals. Most newer HDTVs manufactured in the last decade have this capability. I don't know if...

I think you made the right choice, especially if he's sick. I have just one Russian Tort and he can be a handful when he is in his hyperactive state (active for 10-12 hours, I call him mini Godzilla when he's like that). Yup he enjoys pooping his food and water dishes just like your Sulcata...

Fortunately I've only got one Russian and he started his hibernation Dec 21. Not much of a change for me but nice to have a break from having to wash his food and water dishes several times a day because he enjoys soiling them both!

Yup Photobucket is now obsolete since Josh fixed the Gallery. Gallery photos can be linked/shared with Facebook, here in your messages, other forums etc. so bye bye Photobucket. FYI those of you who have pictures on Photobucket can download them all to a ZIP file so you don't lose any of them.

The main advantage to using a third party hoster is sharing. You can post the same picture to several forums simply by linking to it in your message. Think of it like uploading a video to Youtube - once you have the link you can share it with many websites. The disadvantage to uploading a pic...

Josh has outlined the problems with the app from a forum operator's point of view: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/i-can-no-longer-use-my-phone-to-access-tortoise-forum.162257/page-2#post-1547407 The problem lies with the third party developer, Tapatalk. The solution is a custom app...

Photobucket changed their terms of service in June requiring users to pay $399/year for third party image hosting. Linking to any images hosted on Photobucket will produce this error message unless you pay: Read this...

I've heard the same complaints from other forum operators. Is this forum accessible via the native Tapatalk app? I went on their website and it is just one big advert, no useful info about which forums are supported, no surprise there. (Not every forum is supported). The reason I ask is if...

Indeed the site is VERY mobile friendly although the ads tend to ruin the formatting on certain parts of the page. I am writing this reply from my Galaxy S3 phone's browser and even uploaded a few screenshots. I wasn't aware that the app was 3rd party, I thought it was a home-brew. I guess...

I have one Russian Tort which I've had for about 8 years. He was full grown when I got him so his age is unknown. He can be a handful sometimes due to his rambunctious nature. My hats off to those with multiple torts, I don't know how you do it.

I've had my Russian male rescue for a little more than 8 years now. Like you, I keep him indoors. UVB and Basking light at 90 degrees. He seems to like this temp because he will flop out with all his limbs outstretched for several periods a day. Anything higher and will tend to stay on the...

Relax, it's NOT a virus, stop spreading FUD. It's just an ad being served by one of the far too numerous ad networks used here. Those fake Adobe Flash player update ads are commonplace on the internet and appear in various forms, most even mimic the genuine Adobe flash download page. They all...
