Oh gosh!! What a sneaky lil guy! Im glad she found him and that he was okay! All: I’m picking up the orchid bark today…and a thermometer/humidity gizmo. And i got him the terracotta food & water bowls. I will be contacting chewy to try and send most of that stuff back. i will get his...

Who are “they”? Kind of like how there is a “grammar committee” out there that keeps changing the rules of grammar 🤦🏻‍♀️ Oxford vs regular comma, how to cite research in your paper, and in the bibliography, etc. As soon as you get it straight they change it again! 😡 This is Sheldon’s pool...

Hi. I was reading your care list last nite. Was very in depth, some i didn’t really understand, so i will re-read it again today. I want to ask tho, was it random that the tortoise you used as the example in the care chart was named Sheldon, or did you add that in there? That made me laugh. I...

Oy vey! Well now I’m glad i didn’t just throw everything in there and let him live in there. 😳 i will read thru your attachment. And also stop looking to FB for any advice. Tho Google is how I stumbled onto this site…and i can’t thank you guys enough for the insight you’ve already shared. I...

I did not know any of that! Thank you for explaining 🙂

Hmm… to my knowledge he hasn’t been attacked by any animals…at least not since he has been with me. I suppose maybe before me. I have only had him a month. There is a small piece of missing shell near his left leg…a little triangle, but i didn’t ever see any blood or anything, so it had to be...

I bought all of this. I can’t seem to get a straight answer about the soil tho, if it’s okay to use or not. Someone yesterday told me about the coco coir. I have to go get that, but can i use what i bought in the mean time? Also I’m in central FL, so i don’t really use a heat lamp or anything...

It’s so weird, everywhere I’ve seen so far people seem to use those names interchangeably. When i first found him i used the app “seek” and it said he was an Afghan Tortoise. Then someone said Russian Tortoise. So are those three all actually different breeds of tortoise?

Hi! Thank you for responding. (I’m obvi a very nervous tortoise noob-parent.) The kiddie pool is currently in the garage, so he’s safe from rain. (It was briefly chilly here, like in the low to mid 60s. I was worried he would be too cold.) i will move him back out to the lanai soon, but he...

Hi! Thank you for responding. My concern is about the bald spot that is on his chest/belly. The big peach spot. It is right under his head (you can’t see his head cos he was mad cos i was holding him up) but that spot wasn’t there before. It was all shell, like rear of the other dark parts. I...

Her face tho!

Hi! This is Sheldon. I rescued him just before Hurricane Ian. We live in E.Orlando. I have no idea how old he is. He is currently living in a plastic baby pool with a few toys and a box on its side that he uses as his shelter. i bought and built one of those wooden hutches that has the two...
