Ok, thank you. I’ll try to find him there. Do you happen to know his last name or the name of his company?

Hi, I haven’t been here for a few years and I’m getting a little frustrated with the search feature. Is Aldabra man still active on this site? I’ve been thinking of buying an aldabra for a while but have been spooked by some shady breeders. I seem to remember he had a great set up and was very...

Whoa, seriously weird to see mixed species tortoises. It's creeping me out a little, LOL.

Valerie, there's a baby sulcata on Craig's List in the Tampa area, I think. The guy is moving in a few days up north and wants to find a good home for his baby Master Oogway.

Oh, and Tom, you are the main reason I haven't been on the forum for the past 2 years. You have a response to everything that has nothing to do with you, and it's usually grumpy. Honestly, you are not very fun to hang out with.

Well, don't blame me for the study results. Look it up for yourself to see the exact statistics, but it definitely said numbers went up significantly for the hunting lodge road. Instead of 2%, it went up to, perhaps, 5-10%. So, I guess that would make 5-10% of hunters 'knuckle dragging morons...

She did, I'm meeting her next weekend to get them.:<3::tort::tort::<3:

Seriously sick sulcata = >$3000 vet bill for feeding tube operations, X-rays, medicine, special diet, barium study, SubQ fluids, repeated out-of-town trips to the specialist, etc.... I can only imagine what vet costs would be for a giant aldabra if something like that happened. BTW, sulcata is...

There is a gofundme page for this guy. Lots of good things are happening for him as a result of this incident.

I remember that article. Certain animals had different percentages, like the fake spider was the highest. BUT, I think it was an average of 2% of the people that drove by went out of their way to hit an animal. An estimated 2% of the population falls into sociopath category. Coincidence? I...

Ohhhhh, they are soooo sweet. I have other tortoises, but spread out over 10 acres in various tortie yards and gardens. I have a large outdoor enclosure that is isolated from the other areas. They could live happily there. Would just have to possibly do shoe and hand disinfect upon leaving, but...

In a new enclosure with different temps and lighting??? maybe he thinks he's supposed to be hibernating.

Where do you live? She sure would enjoy some serious outside time. Diggin' in the dirt, baskin' in the sun....

Here he is.

Yvonne, I'm pretty sure it's an Eastern, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. I'll take a pic tomorrow to share. He's sleeping right now, don't want to disturb him. ;)
