Thanks for the welcome

Thank you for the nice welcome.

Thanks for the add. My guy is six years old and has been battling a URI since before November 10th when the vet started antibiotics. He still sounds terrible and I’m wondering if he stayed sick because he wasn’t warm enough. Heat panels were just installed three days ago and it’s now warm in there. I’m waiting on his blood panel and culture results.

Thanks for the add

Hi I am new to joining so let me introduce my torts. I have 2 horsefield babies I year old, and another 3 horsefield about 8 years old. I am hopeing by growth that the 2 young ones are a male and female, the older ones are 2 females and I male. I also have 4 Redfoot tropical tortoises. By the sizes I am going on 3 females and 1 male. They are 18 month old, and in a 5ft 6" vivarium.

thanks for the add :)

Need everyone's help. We live in North San Diego County and are getting ready to list our house and retire. We have had our beautiful Sulcata tortoise for 15-16 years and love him a lot; he's a part of our family. We will be moving into a much smaller home and probably with a very small yard and we want to do some traveling. We need to find a loving home with a good sized yard for Turbo.

Hey y’all :) brand new to the forum & excited to join! First questions from this old lady who is a complete “non-tekkie” is
What is and What do I type for Home Page? And what the heck is an avatar??

I did the habitat the way the pet store told me to, but I am sure it is wrong and my way is better. They seem to be struggling to much with the hay they told me to put down. I wanted to put down dirt but they told me it was a bad idea.

I have 2 baby tortoise hatchlings. They were given to me by neighbors who were afraid their children would flush them down the toilet. They are desert tortoises. I have 3 Russians. But from my research the care is much different. Any suggestions?

Hey Josh! I’m hoping to buy a tortoise in the next couple of days, an Ibera Greek male:) and I am soooooo excited! And can’t wait to post pictures!! Glad to be part of the family!!

Hi Josh! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks Josh. We adopted two tortoises in June. Since we live in Antelope Valley area, our shelter is insulated for the cold/heat . Our problem is it’s staying to warm for my torts to want to hibernate or maybe it’s still to early. We have 2 1/2 acres so we want them to hibernate outside if possible. We aren’t sure if we need to dig the condo deeper it’s at 48 inches now.

Hi Josh, thank you for the welcome!

Thx for the welcoming me! It’s my son’s baby leopard tortoise! He got it around July! He is the cutest! I will learn how to post pics soon enough

My tortoise has a growth on her mouth, it’s my understanding that it’s a calcium buildup. It’s affects her eating sometimes because it’s in the front of her mouth.
Can it be cut off?

Hello Josh, so happy to join this forum! Yesterday our family received our very 1st tortoise, a baby Cherry Head! He/she doesn't have much "red" on its head at all for a Cherry Head, only pale/very faint orange colorations that is difficult to pick up on camera. He/she is adorable and healthy, 2.5" long and weighs 1.8oz. and is very shy at the moment. Looking forward to learning from everyone!

Hi Josh, thank you for the welcome. Happy to finally have a place that won't get tired of me talking about my turtles.

Hey josh — thanks for the welcome message ! We just pre ordered our Egyptian from Chris Leone from garden state ! Should arrive this winter some time between December and February .. looking forward to posting and sharing photos when she arrives
