Thanks everyone! yeah i need to probably keep them separate if they are now breedable! the rocks are just in one section in my yard. most of the yard is grass. their enclosure is in my desert portion. They live there in the dirt with the cactus and their burrows until i get home and i take them...

Thanks everyone!

welll.... thats the sticker the local tortoise guy gave me to put on. they both came with nothing. i dont know why not. the license plate on my car stays with it! why not the tort? haha i'm in Ridgecrest CA. High Desert :-)

oh i got you! yeah, no spike arms! oh what a relief. i mean, it would be cool to have a giant tort that never hibernates ;-) but i didnt think my climate was suitable! so a desert tort then? Thanks!

Hi everyone again! I finally got my torts to a good vet and they told me that Mr Dent is actually MISS Dent! And that it was possible she was a sulcata? do you guys know? I was not prepared for a sulcata at my house. I currently have Ralf, the 30yro desert tort that pretty much takes care of...

Wow, yeah, my local chapter doesnt seem to know anything. The guy brought me Ralf and let me put him in an enclosure with a poisonous plant in it! I found out myself when he was flipped over with vomit the next day. Luckily it was easy to relocate the wall to exclude the plant. It gets the...

Hi everyone! I opened up my backyard to a desert tortoise in May this year, Ralf. I am told he is about 30yrs old. He didnt have any other info but his name. I spent tons of money on different foods to try to find something he likes. Ended up the only thing he would eat is my Fescue sod and...
