We're too busy taking care of a gazillion torts to do the math. My only excuse is I have an escape artist.

So we are at 1183 turtles / tortoises total now.
Who has some shelled pets to add to the list ????

My friend had a hermit crab, she didn’t upgrade his condo and he died [emoji30], true story, she thought it was big enough, her 5 year old that wanted it is devastated. Sad but a good lesson. Poor little Knox (the boy) took good care of him but didn’t have the info needed, I work with his mom and she is my cousin, she works with me and her husband works all the time, they all play baseball and cook at festivals, live in the country with a pond and have turtles that just show up, she lets them do their thing and not interfere in natures process. She feels bad about the hermit crab, but lesson learned.

+1 Go Clunker!
1+1183= 1184

I have my Daisy- future super women/man... but plan on getting a miniature donkey when we move to country in couple of years. I am researching ways to house/separate them during winter,so they are both safe and happy, again I’m only researching, only have my 200 something gram sulcata. I know Daisy needs humid hide and then I plan on summer hide too, dedicated 1/4 acre of all sun/and part shade... photos and ideas please. I want to get this right the first time

Hello tortoise/turtle friends. Because I am curious, please help me and add with your post the number of the tortoises and turtles you own to this thréad. It will be funny and interesting to see how many shelled friends we`ve got on TFO.
I will make the start. I own 10 tortoises. Please add your tortoises or turtles to this number.
For example the next poster owns 5 tortoises, please write 10 +5 = 15 in your post.
It is not necessary to tell what species you own, only their number.
Thanks to all that participate in this funny count of tortoises and turtles.

Sabine

I own 10 tortoises.

1184 + 3 = 1187

Sweet babies [emoji7]

1184 + 3 = 1187

I think we are off here. We counted to 1187 twice. So i have 3 and I'm going to say

1190 + 3 = 1193

I don't think Bee62 was counting twice, she was just reaffirming the latest total because there were some oddball picture posts between that last total. I have since moved the pictures off the thread.

Oh ok! I misunderstood.

Then I guess with my 3 we are at 1190.

@Jay Bagley has one, so
1190 + 1 = 1191

Does anyone know how many @ascott has? She's been MIA lately. Hope she's ok.

1191 current total.

That's a lot of tortoises LOL

Do my cement torts count? [emoji23] I’m jealous of all of you with more than 1 [emoji20]

With my four , now the current number is 1196

There are over 30,000 TFO members past and present, say some low % was here because they were 'going to get a turtle or tortoise' but never did, which is no doubt balanced by those who got one, then another.

So easily over 30,000 tortoises represented here.

That means the tortoise does win the race. They're just hanging around with us for awhile.

1194 + my 1 = 1195 and the count goes on.
