I have torts and a camera... Now join with me as I geek out with tortoise videos LOL

This enclosure isn't really "indoors" since it is on the back porch, but... The enclosure is 2'x8'. There is a plexi floor and lid. I'm aware that it probably isn't big enough, but given the materials I had on hand and the space available this has to be better than the box these two hatchling...

This is not a finished project. We have only had our grown male sulcata for only a week and I am anxious to get him outside. This is 24x24 feet and 16 inches tall. I'll have more progress photos soon.

Years ago we had a few torts (and was on this site) that we loved. Sadly we made some mistakes and they didn't live the long life they were intended to live. Recently our son surprised us with 3 Sulcatas. One of them is a 9 year old male and the other two are hatch-lings. We do not want to...

I'm curious... If I want to pursue getting another tort, which one would it be? I live just outside of San Antonio Texas. My wife wants a tort that we can build and outdoor enclosure for. She wants it to live out there year round. We've had sort of a run in with the 'law' regarding the...

Well, we managed to keep the RT a secret till the big morning. My son is so pleased with his gift, but... I noticed that her eyes are watery. I'm not certain if she's eating... if she is, it's not much. I'll have to attach a pic later of she and her enclosure. There is a 14 day health...

We just purchased one Russian. She will be a Christmas gift to one of our kids. Will the tort be ok by herself, or should we get her a friend?

Hello all, I'm going to jump right in here.... I am a homeschool parent. One of the ways we like to teach our kids is to give them unique experiences... not all from a text book. We have researched torts to some degree and my kids would like to experience one first hand. I can read...
