1 “Tonka” tortoise

Reading this made my day. Picturing a cantankerous 87 year old and you doting on her was something I could relate to. My Sulcata Tonka is a grumpy young soul but I choose to believe that way down deep deep deep inside he loves me as much I love him. Lol 😂

“Tonka” the tenacious sulcata tortoise. 3 years 2 months old. Have enjoyed his company for over a year now. Was 9.14 lbs then and is now 24 lbs!

“TONKA” the tenacious tortoise. 3 years old. Have enjoyed his company for a little over a year now. Was 9 lbs a year ago

I hope and pray it’s a good growth rate. I have spent a lot of time on this forum reading articles listed and listening to experienced tortoise people. There is so much to learn and lots of trial by error. Basically praying that Tonka will thrive and not just survive under my watch. Sulcatas...

Oops. Age. Tonka was 2 when we got him last February. So growth is from age 2 to 3 years old.

Hello everyone! It’s been a year and what a year since we adopted “Tonka” (formerly “Tallulah”) from Texas. I know when we first brought “him” home we were so grateful for the forum and all the wonderful advice that was given. It is quite an undertaking preparing for a tortoise addition and...

Thank you so much. I was worried because the sides didn’t flare he was growing wrong or getting plump. It’s hard to find pictures of healthy sulcatas and compare him with. ? Most photos I’ve found on this forum come up with a yellow emoji saying “no longer available”. I really appreciate you...

Hello. Tonka is a 2 1/2 year old male sulcata. Adopted him at a year weighing 9.1 lbs. He is now 16.9 lbs. He lives outdoors here in Alabama which has no shortage of humidity. He has his heated house he can go in and out whenever he chooses. He has a soaking bowl, shade and lots of sunny...

Learning every day! Thank you. ?

Wow! A+ for you! I even love the name padloper.

Thank you! My neighbors niece asked me. I told her I knew a little ab nothing about turtles or tortoises. Thank you! My neighbor had asked me and since I know next to nothing about turtles and tortoises I thought I’d look it up. Although I love being out in the country 99% of the time I miss...

Morning y’all! I’ve been trying to look up what is the world’s tiniest tortoise breed is for about 30 minutes. WIFI is almost nonexistent here. Can anyone tell me what the tiniest tortoise breed is and where it is from?

Thank you for catching that with the iron trellisI had never imagined how strong these guys could be until being around him just a short while. He is now 12 lbs. having gained 3 since we’ve had him and he feels like all muscle when moving him about. So I’m sure he could move that trellis and it...

Lovely idea! His first emergency enclosure had one in it and it surprised me how much time I could invest in just watching him graze or wander around. They really are something special.

I can already agree with you. There is so much more to caring for these dinosaur looking creatures. I will forever be learning what I can add or have done better or bigger.....definitely bigger.

I’ve never seen a tree like that. I love it and the green house is awesome.

This is “George”. He’s a 3 year old Missouri Foxtrotter. I’ve known him since he was 4 days old and we have just begun to ride this past week. Wow! And your roan is beautiful!

Really nice! I love the edges on the ramp. Nice touch.
