Haha love it! One of them came back and even with 2 of my boys playing right next to us the lizard is just sitting there watching the torts. And the bad climber was definitely true today. 1 of them flipped over 2 times in a row by walking off the log hide. They love to climb but today wasnt a...

Outside with my babies for their morning sun and these 2 lizards decided to stop and check out my torts. I couldn't stop laughing when I realized there were 2 not just 1. The second one apparently wanted a different angle lol

Thought this was appropriate for this post. 2 of my 3 are quite relaxed in their bath after coming in from outside

Ive never noticed actually. They seem rather indifferent to their shells being touched but all 3 love their necks rubbed. I'll have to watch the tails, they are only 9 months old so it might just be something I've missed since they are small still.

I love when mine sleep like that, with their legs all stretched out. One of mine puts his head on his leg too. Soo cute.

I use the picture this phone app and tortoise table and I joined a group on Facebook where people help identify plants/weeds also. Are there any better options? I'm a bit paranoid about feeding the wrong things at this point so I'm always double checking what i find to make sure it's what I...

California desert tortoise is what I was told

Thank you! I'm very excited about tomorrow. Ive been reading up on propagating ice plant all afternoon (I'm going to get a bunch because they have a bunch, and 2 types, to feed as well as for possible failures in my attempts to grt it growing lol, I really am horrible with plants but when it's...

Wonderful!! Thank you all so much. Im extra excited to go to my parents house tomorrow. Of course to celebrate fathers day with my dad and husband but definitely to pick some plants and weeds and see if anything else on their property is safe to bring home for my little babies to eat!

Well that makes sense. Plants are not my thing. I am learning how to be a gardener as I go so forgive my "blonde moment" haha.

Really that's it? Thank you! About how long would they be good for like this?

I am working on getting a better variety of plants/weeds for my tort babies to eat but until I get my stuff growing (I do not have a green thumb so its a trial and error -with lots of error- on how to grow things from seeds, ive got Bermuda grass now but they still arent sure what to do with it...

I spam my Instagram with pictures of these guys all the time but I feel like no one really gets how cool they really are. I'm learning as I go (so any advice is greatly appreciated if you see something in a picture that should be fixed/addressed) but I have found they are my way to relax. I...

Yes they are desert tortoises. I never thought I'd fall so in love with them. I didnt realize they have so much personality. But I hate scambling trying to learn what I need to keep them healthy. The lady gave us mazuri with them and said that was needed to help their shells harden so I didnt...

Here is little Kyle. Looks like it's letting me add the picture now

*to start ill say I'm very new to tortoise care and doing my best to learn quickly, but I dont always known what to look for until something comes up, such as this. It's actually several questions I've now got in trying to find the answer to 1. Is an under bite normal? Ive tried doing some...

Thank you!

Oh I was just reading the sucata page you shared and Im so glad I havent cut my pool grass yet (tortoise garden is what my son has named it. Tortoise land is the inside tank). I will cut some and bring that inside for them! I never thought about cutting the grass! The smaller 2 havent tried...

Thank you for your input. I'll get something different for their water. We were using a Tupperware lid but I was to hard to keep clean and I had a small very shallow rock type dish but it got to small for the bigger one to sit in on the occassion he wanted to actually soak. I'll definitely get...

This is their indoor set up
