Thank you so much you are so knowledgeable ET IS much better back to his sweet self. I think he just swallowed water. I did hold him head down to make sure he didn't have water in his lungs. Today he's back to normal no sign of water out nose. Thanks again Carol

I have stones in back yard but want to plant small area for my desert tortoise. I live in Las Vegas and it's very hot. What kind of grass can I grow for food? And any ideas where I should purchase it? Thanks Carol

OMG I was so worried about my little ET s face and mouth. Now I know he's ok and I'm not doing anything wrong. He ate Romaine and red hibiscus and his face looks black

This really helped me. I was worried about ET s mouth being discolored Guess they have sensitive skin from dark coconut in bottom of his enclosure
