I get that, that's why I wrote what I wrote. Otherwise I'd just chill with popcorn. I bet if I ask some questions about my tortoise or turtle right now, you guys will still answer it. I just hate to see people turn away and not stick around and lose out on valuable info.

All this and Evan turns out to be a tortoise flipper, that'll be a smack to our faces....

Hey, just so we are on the same page and it might not mean much to you or others. I do like you guys and the information you guys put out there. I wouldn't know what I know if it weren't for TFO and all of your posts. But it appears we have enough people calling out the wrongs so I'm still going...

The statement is both insightful and ironically close minded. The paradox we live in.

I agree, I'm not saying it's wrong. They can threaten people if they'd like. It's just the internet and I'm assuming they are all adults. So no real physical harm anyway. I didn't single out anything or anyone or at least didn't intend to. I've monitored Evan's interactions for the past week and...

I agree, it's not, just expressing it's odd to me that I'm placed on a side. I was thinking we are more like a collective with a common interest but that's just wishful thinking. Just got reminded about the handful times where I've mentioned TF to people and their response was "it's not a...

All I said was people gave good advice, Evan has good intentions. One step at a time. It lead to this. If that causes an argument, I think people need to look within themselves. Look at Evan's posts, he originally tried to take in more tortoises as a rescue. That was the original post, then...

Kind of curious where I got butt hurt or what bad stuff I did.

There it is, see how defensive it got? Tact is needed for sure. My point is it's a good act to get all the right information out there. But people and situations are case by case. Clearly ganging up on him isn't changing his mind atm but encourgaining small changes might open up to bigger...

If I had the magic words, I'd be able to change your mind right here right now without getting a lump term such as "you and Evansky" are problems. All I can say is in the years I've been on here, I've read and promoted your care guide because they are the best I've seen. But reading your...

Seems like we are just different people. What can you do when Evansky is not changing his mind? Yelling across the internet? Use mod privileges? Ban? Change is encouraged, not forced. It's great to be knowledgeable about certain topics, but not utilizing the right way to educate people defeats...

I do agree with everyone but Evansky has a good heart. Everyone is just trying to give the best advice they can. I forgot whose post I read earlier but it mentioned rescuing a tortoise from a terrible situation and placing it in another unideal situation is also terrible. I'm paraphrasing but I...

Great eaters, small torts, big personalities

I think they look scrumptious, but I'm bad at seasoning so I'll settle for loving them.

I know for smaller lizards, I tend to mix in soil and cococoir with the reptibark and dump springtails and isopods in there. I also make sure I layer a good inch of Leca in the very bottom, then fiber screen, a layer of lump charcoal without any lighter fluid, another mesh layer then I put all...
