    My Pancake hates soaking!

    Do any torts like bathtime? The first time I put my 2 pancakes in the bath, the one climbed on top of the other (I presume to get out of the water).

    Pancake tortoises are sometimes very silly [vid]

    Never underestimate the stubbornness of a tortoise.

    Anyone in Florida?

    Hello, I am also in Central Florida. Have any of you ever heard of the Chelonian Research Institute? They do take in (I don't know about rehome) unwanted tortoises and turtles. They have a lot of land but most of it is not in use - being a not for profit they are in need of money and man power...

    New Outdoor Reused Bookshelf enclosure

    LOL, sometimes I think the same thing about Lowes. It's less than 2 miles from my house and my go-to place for all my home projects. Love the bookshelf idea. Looks great!

    Why do wiener dogs eat everything?

    Yup. I couldn't believe it when my little runt wiener (7 pounds) came over to me with my tortoise's poop on her breath. I always have to shoo the two wieners away from my tort's Mazuri. Also, they LOVE broccoli. The first time I gave them broccoli, they were begging for food while was...

    GREAT CALENDAR!!!!!

    I just got mine in the mail today and I agree! My two fav pics are of emysemys reading to her torts (May) and the stubborn little guy who got stuck in the fence (September). When will they realize that solid objects won't always move for them?

    I love when she sleeps like this!!!

    I know! Here, I dug up one of my fav pictures of Herbert: He looks so comfy snoozing in the shade.

    I recognize #13 from my old house. I don't know the name, but my tort sure liked it.

    Mazuri is amazing!

    Yeah, Herbert didn't care for Mazuri the first time I gave it to him. Then I saw this thread: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-39021.html?highlight=tortoise+meatballs#axzz2BxytZSvw I do this except I only use Mazuri(and not the other brand mixed in) and my hay isn't as finely chopped. I...

    Anyone in the Tampa Florida area?

    Hi! I'm in Florida but on the other coast. I do however know a couple who live in your area that have a house overflowing with reptiles. The gentleman is the president of a small turtle/tortoise club I belong to. We meet on the third Tuesday of every month (except December) in Oakland. Here is...

    Why can't my tortoises just get along?

    Sadly, I know you guys are right. Thanks for your help. Now I must decide whether to close off a section of the yard or let someone else have him. I don't really want to do either! And of course you can build a sulcata army! I will raise them all from babies and then mount guns on them like...

    Why can't my tortoises just get along?

    Herbert is about 9 years old. I've had him since he was a baby. He hasn't had contact with another tortoise since I scooped him out of the tank in the pet store. Now, I've brought home a rescue(I named him Alphonse). They weren't sure of his age, but he is at least half Herbert's size. They...
