It was SofiaTG! Sofia is my second name. So now I used my first name instead haha

Rex was given to me by an aunt who has a couple of tortoises of her own. Mine are actually still quite young, they're pretty small in comparison to the adult ones that I have seen. I calculate that they'll be fully grown in around 5-8 maybe even 10 years :) **Edit. Also I think that Benji might...

Hello! I have 2 texas torts and they grow pretty slow. How old are your babies? I know that desert torts are bigger than texas tortoises, so they might reach the 100 grams mark at around 6 months?

Hello everybody! It's been a looong while since I last wrote in this forum. I used to have another account, but I forgot which e-mail I used for that one so I made a new one with my current e.mail. Anyways. My name is Nat! nice to meet you :) I have two texas tortoises, Benjamín and Frankie...

His legs are a bit 'spiky'... I'll upload some more up-close pictures later today! Right now they're sleeping lol But their shells only look a bit darker when wet. No coloration...

What do you mean by faint coloration on the shell?? But now that you mention it, Frankie's shell is quite flatter than Benjamin's and Rex's... and her plastron is different... now you got me thinking! I'll investigate some more about that species!

If you don't feel comfortable with it then maybe you should change it. It could be that the soil won't harm your tortoise, but who knows... better to be safe than sorry :) good luck!

My tortoises don't like calcium blocks either... But from time to time I offer them some calcium powder with a little spoon and they actually like it :)

Awww congrats! Such a cute story...like you two were meant for each other :) the little guy chose you! hahaha :)

Oh well :( they will always be my babies hahaha :<3: Thank you so much :)

This post was from March, Frankie's plastron is white for some reason... I have a picture of Frankie and Benji's plastron: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/does-this-look-like-shell-rot-or-fungus.137953/#post-1292878 Benjamin was given to me by my aunt, because her dogs would use him as a...

I know for sure that Frankie is a little older, since she is a bit larger. I also know that they're still a little young... I've had them for almost a year know (First I got Benji, then like 3 months later Frankie was given to me and then baby Rex, who just turned 1 year old). The pictures were...

Well... I'm Mexican so yeah, I've eaten them... they're really good :) I do keep them in the fridge, whether they are for human consuption or the tortoises lol I've never tried them raw, I always cook them. Just make sure to cook them on high heat, since when cooked they produce a slimey...

Terramycin is AMAZING. I have the same problem with my tort Benjamin... sometimes when he wakes up his left eye looks just like in your tortoise's pictures. I just apply some terramycin with a cotton swab when his eye is looking strange and in less than 15 minutes everything is back to normal...

Thank you so much! :) I seriously really appreciate it n_n It's good to hear that nothing seems wrong with her :)

Hello! I've had Frankie for about 6 months now. She's a Texas tortoise (born in captivity), she was given to me by my father. I have other two texas tortoises, Bejamin and Rex. Benji and Rex's plastrons are dark... but Frankie's plastron looks white (?) I used to think that this was normal, as...
